From concept, to capture, to creation, Leslie Hossack’s artistic process is completely digital, but revolves around the powerful personalities and monumental structures that defined the last century. Her practice currently calls upon her personal history as she revisits the analogue era of her childhood memories. 

Leslie Hossack lives in Ottawa, making her home away from home in Vancouver. Leslie turned to photography and the visual arts as a second career. She has studied at The School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa and at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver. Leslie’s photographs have been exhibited across Canada from Vancouver to Newfoundland and in the United States. She has ten books to her credit, and her images have appeared in publications in Canada, the US, and the UK, including the National Gallery of Canada Magazine. Leslie’s work is held in private collections at home and abroad, and in public collections including: Library and Archives Canada; Canadian War Museum; Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum; City of Vancouver; Nikkei National Museum, Burnaby; National Churchill Library and Center, Washington DC; Center for Creative Photography, Tucson AZ; Churchill Archives Centre, Churchill College, Cambridge UK; and in the libraries of the Sigmund Freud Museum, Vienna; David Collection, Copenhagen; Hirschsprung Collection, Copenhagen; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto and National Gallery of Canada.
