Her clients included Sharon Lois and Bram, and The Travellers, TVOntario, Academic Press, Annick Press, Kids Can Press, Ginn and Company, Holt, Rinehart and Winston of Canada Limited, McClelland and Stewart Limited, Southam Publications Limited, University of Toronto, McGraw-Hill Ryerson, Methuen Publications, Scholastic-TAB Publications Limited, Prentice-Hall Canada Inc., UNICEF Canada, Nelson Canada, Toronto Life, and the Toronto Star.
Lesley’s personal thirty-year struggle with anorexia and bulimia has informed her work concerning body image, which has appeared in Dance in Canada magazine, and York University’s International Women’s Studies Journal. Her interest in figurative drawing resulted in a successful exhibition of her work at the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto on the subject of feminine self determination.
