I am thrilled that I have been awarded a 2015 NEA Studio Residency Grant from Women's Studio Workshop (WSW). This grant supports a six-week residency in WSW's letterpress studio where I am currently creating work in the medium of letterpress. I hope you will join me, @leslienicholsart, on Instagram where I am posting images and sharing my residency experience. The residency dates are September 21-October 31, 2015. 

In conjunction with my residency, a solo exhibition of my work is on display at the Women's Studio Workshop Gallery from October 1-October 30, 2015.
