Lesley Asare is a British Ghanaian Multidisciplinary Artist, Tamalpa Teacher training graduate, Somatic Coach, Breathwork Practitioner and Mentor, based in Milton Keynes, UK.

As a multidisciplinary artist, her practice is led by her quest for truth and the desire to listen intuitively to awaken to the subtle faculties that complete the human experience.

She wholeheartedly believes in the healing power of the creative process. Her work explores identity, personal histories and the experiences of Africans and of the Global Majority. Through her work she aims to create the space for play, stillness, self-reflection, self- discovery, empowerment, transformation and healing.

She generates work through drawing, painting, creating abstract self-portraits, exploring the body through movement, exploring the narratives within organic and domestic objects, sculpture, nature connection as well as through the design and construction of costumes that can be transformed by the body in space which culminate in performances and installations.

Having graduated from the London College of Fashion with an MA in Costume design in 2012, she has worked with artists such as Mark Storor, Rene Baker, Amanda Monfrooe, Phoebe Davies, The Ahhhness of Things and Vicki Igbokwe (Uchenna Dance).
