Leslie Bartlett, originally from Epsom, N.H., is a photographer, local historian and graphic designer. For the last two years he has partnered with Susan Quateman, a silk painter, urban planner and writer. The two landscape and environmental artists developed SQ & LB Artist Collaboration. Through this collaboration, Bartlett focuses on the theme of Climate Change and Resilient Landscapes of Cape Ann. He has worked to produce art which explains complicated science in a clear manner, which evokes emotional responses. It is through this process that he sees how his photographic works of stone are so relevant to our times. October 2017 marked the 10th Anniversary of Les Bartlett’s installation at the Cape Ann Museum of “Chapters on a Quarry Wall.” Learn more about the artist at http://www.lesliebartlett.com/.
