Leslie Apple
The Artist Speaks...
"Jazz has been a life-long passion. I heard Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman while in the womb. I took it from there. Jazz pianist and Classical composer, Mel Powell, is a favorite of mine and has been a strong influence on the concept behind my work. I love his work and I often paint in accompaniment to his music..."
I primarily work in acrylics and my main subjects are animals, dogs in particular, personally due to my love of dogs. My choice of subject matter has led me on a journey of self-discovery that explores that mystical, intense bond between pets and their people.
Blue Zephyr Studios, LLC was founded in 2001. Bluezstudios specializes in Fine Art and Design along with Custom Pet Portraits. It originally started as a web design business. I'm a creative so I still do web and graphic design. Examples of my web design, besides my site, are margerygood.com and brandywinelongrifles.com. While I love design work, painting is my true passion. Yet, my graphic design background is always there. It still informs everything I do."

Mako
The Airedale Influence...
"Mako - CH Top Step Flash Act - the Airedale is my first show dog. Margery Good - of Charmin the Sealyham fame - is his handler. He finished his championship in two weekends and competed at the Westminster Kennel Club show in 2006 & 2007. Mako and I were featured in a nice article (with great pictures) in the Wilmington News Journal on the first day of the show. It's a blast to see your dog in the ring at Madison Square Garden! I started handling Mako in the show ring in 2008. Though we have only done a few shows, that has been quite an experience!
