About Me
My Beginnings
I am very lucky to have grown up in an arts and entertainment focused family. My Dad once caught me drawing on a napkin. He reprimanded me; "If you are going to draw, you should do it on good paper". Then he took me to the art supply store.
My Favorite Work
As an artist, it's my job to capture the world I see either through the camera lens, via painting or sculpture. At the end of the day, I feel satisfied when my audience feels connected to the work I have created. It is my goal to make art that is both personally meaningful and universally accessible.
My Life Today
I'm very lucky to be doing what I love as my profession. I am the Exhibitions Board Member for the Treasure Valley Artists Alliance and Curator of the TVAA Exhibitions at the Nampa Civic Center. My work puts me in touch with the some of the most talented artists in Idaho.

Boise Weekly
"The exhibition is a humble one at first glance, lining just a single hallway. But like a field of sugar beets or mustard greens, a closer look reveals hidden complexity. Some works, like Leslie Jay Bosch's bright acrylic-and-paper collages of gem-like hot air balloons floating across farm fields, celebrate Idaho's agricultural aesthetic." - Lex Nelson, August 8, 2018

"After the eclipse, Bosch made three digital photographic collages about "moments of time coalescing; the past, present and future all existing at once within the void of totality"..."I love that this show is called ‘Together in the Dark’ because that’s exactly how I felt,” Bosch said. “I was surrounded by my family, and I felt like we were each having our own separate experience”
