Leslie M. Guzmán is an interdisciplinary artist and storyteller originally from Guatemala. Her practice weaves together photography, printmaking, and mixed media to explore the narratives embedded in people, place, and memory.
What began as a love for photography at age 12, when her mother gifted her a camera, has since evolved into a dynamic creative journey. Whether drawing from cultural identity, ancestral traditions, natural landscapes, or everyday rituals, Guzmán responds to the spaces she inhabits with curiosity and care.
Rather than stay confined to a single theme, she follows the story wherever it leads—creating visually layered works that invite reflection, remembrance, and connection.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Notable highlights include Colorful Traditions, which was received first place in the Visual Art Alliance Juried Exhibit. Justice for Genocide, featured in the Holocaust Museum Houston’s GENOCIDE: Man’s Inhumanity to Humankind, which promoted the exhibit. Her pieces reside in private collections across the U.S. and Guatemala.
