Artist in Residence: Lesley Finn

We are excited to launch the 2025 Season of Sacred Grounds Coffeehouse Artist in Residence. The Artists will be at our place for a week doing live art, talking to the curious, and showing off their talent. Every Friday night at 6 pm, we will have an artist reception for the artist of the week. Come support them and their work.

This week’s artist is Lesley Finn!

Lesley Finn writes and makes visual art about history, gender, and spiritual experience. Her work spans many forms – mixed-media collage, artist books, writing, immersive installation – and is rooted in archival and site-based research. Past training in medieval studies informs her interest in the relationship between image and text, and communication in its many forms and manifestations, especially the supernatural. Honors include serving as Artist-in-Residence for the Connecticut Audubon Society and the Ely Center of Contemporary Art, and an Eccles Fellowship at the British Library, London. In addition to contributing to literary magazines and book projects, she has shown nationally in group and solo shows, including at Kalamazoo Book Arts Center in Michigan and The Institute Library in Connecticut. She teaches at Yale University and the Center for Fiction.
