Biography of Leslie Carson Wolfe

Leslie Carson Wolfe is a photographer who focuses on images of Kansas. She began showing her work at Art in the Park in Lawrence, Kansas in 1998. An active member of the Lawrence Photo Alliance, Wolfe participated in group shows such as Kansas KC Camera. Her work has also been accepted into regional juried shows, including the Hays Five State, Art in the Woods, and the Second Kansas Triennial.

In 2004 Wolfe moved to Kansas City where she studied digital imaging and film history at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. When she moved to Topeka in 2013, Wolfe continued selling her original photographs as cards in local shops, as she had done in Lawrence and Kansas City. In 2022 and 2023 Wolfe produced calendars of her photographs of Kansas.
