Lesley Fotherby was born in London. Her artistic training began at the Bath Academy of Art, then she attended Ravensbourne College of Art, and finally, Leicester University. After leaving university Lesley taught art in secondary schools and young adult centres, until stopping teaching to paint full time.

At the time Lesley was living in Yorkshire, which is where where she first exhibited, in local galleries. In 1980, 1981 and 1982, exhibitions were held at The Royal Horticultural Society. In 1985, 1987, 1991, 1993, 1995 and 1998 Lesley’s art was shown at the Chris Beetles Gallery, and at their annual Summer Cat Show.

Lesley Fotherby has illustrated a number of books by both Michael O’Mara and Doreen Tovey, mostly about cats, for example, ‘Cats, Drawing and Painting in watercolour’, 1993, by Michael O’Mara, and ‘Cats in the Belfry’ by Doreen Tovey.

At present Lesley is working with The National Youth Ballet of Great Britain and Birmingham Royal Ballet.
