My guest this week is painter, photographer, filmmaker, illustrator, and audiovisual artist Leslie McAllister, who also creates sound works and performance art pieces under the stage name Lesteria. Her artwork has been exhibited in Pittsburgh, Santa Fe, Toronto, Cairo, Berlin, and Paris, and her filmwork has been screened at the Santa Fe Film Festival and in the Short Film Corner at Cannes.

Currently, Leslie is continuing her Lost Art project, which is also developing into a book, and an album of her sound pieces, in which she creates atmospheres by blending multiple layers of her own voice with field recordings and instrumentation. Listen to hear more about her creations and for a clip of her sound work.

About Us
Who will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde? How are new artforms created, developed, honed? And where exactly do today's artists and creatives find their inspirations?

Each week, join City of Muses host Jennifer Geraghty as she sits down with contemporary artists, poets, dancers, designers, and performers to explore what inspires them, what their creative processes are like, where their ideas come from, and how Paris has helped or hindered their dreams come true.

Inspiration and creativity meet in Paris, the City of Muses.
