Leslie Pablo

Artist Profile

Leslie Pablo was born in 1964 into the Navajo Nation. He learned the art of carving sculptures on stone from his friend, Tim Washburn. Tim taught Leslie the basics of sculpting, a skill which Pablo has been honing since 1989.

Leslie specializes in sculptures hand carved from alabaster, marble and accents his art with an oak wood base. He finds the raw materials and can turn a clump of stone into fabulous masterpieces of animals, warriors and anything his creative mind can imagine. His favorite sculptures to carve are the symbolic Indians and warriors going on a march. Leslie signs his sculptures with the year followed by Pablo. He is related to Randall Beyal and Roland Beyal who are his cousins and also sculpt on stone.
