Leslie Gleim is a Honolulu-based fine art photographer known for her distinctive visual narratives created through aerial and macro perspectives. Her ongoing work seeks to understand the complex relationships and tensions between the natural, climatic, and human impacts upon the Hawaiian ʻāina (land). With a particular focus on the volcanic ecology of Hawai’i, she captures the regenerative and dynamic process shaped by volcanic activity and explores the profound changes created by those powerful forces on the ʻāina. By documenting this delicate balance between natural and human influences, she hopes to inspire and provoke thoughtful dialogue about environmental stewardship of our planet.

Leslie’s work has been widely exhibited and published locally, nationally, and internationally. Her work “Life of the Land” was recently acquired by the Art in Public Places Collection of the Hawai’i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
