Dear Reader,

​

As I look toward the year ahead and into 2026 — I find myself thinking about the people who have quietly mattered most in my creative life. The ones who don’t just like the finished paintings, but who care about the process, the stories, and the evolution behind the work.

Because of that, I’m opening something I don’t often offer.

This is a very personal invitation to be part of my New Year, New Vision — 2026 Collector & Mentor Circle, limited to just five people.

This is not a subscription.
It’s not a class.
It’s a relationship — and an investment in your own creative life, curiosity, and connection to art.

What being part of this circle includes

As a member of the 2026 Collector & Mentor Circle, you’ll receive:

​

• One original 11x14” watercolor,
  created specifically for this circle in 2026 — an intimate work that reflects the ideas and direction I’m exploring at that time
• A $250 studio credit,
  usable toward a 2026 original painting or a commissioned piece, should you wish to collaborate more deeply
• A private studio Zoom visit,
  where I’ll share current work, influences, and what’s unfolding behind the scenes — the kind of conversation that rarely happens publicly
• Two hours of private access in 2026,
  shaped around your interests. This may take the form of:
  • studio conversations about the work and its stories
  • insight into upcoming series and themes
  • creative consultation or mentorship, if that’s something you enjoy
  • or simply meaningful dialogue about art, collecting, and process
  • This is not about instruction unless you want it to be. It’s about being part of the creative conversation.
• A Leslie Lambert Swag Bag, mailed in early 2026, including:
  • a custom apron
  • a custom oven mitt
  • a small signed print
  • art cards
  • and a few of my favorite, hand-selected art supplies

​

All experiences take place throughout 2026, at a relaxed, intentional pace.

​

Why I’m offering this

Over the years, I’ve learned that the most meaningful relationships around art are built slowly — through trust, access, and shared curiosity.

This circle is about stepping a little closer:
seeing work as it’s forming, understanding the stories behind it, and becoming part of the journey rather than just the final result.

Because of that, I’m keeping this offering intentionally small.

Details

• Investment: $1,000
• Availability: Limited to five people
• Timing: All components take place in 2026

Reader, if this resonates with you, simply reply to this email and let me know. I’ll follow up personally with next steps and details.

And if it’s not the right fit, please know there’s no pressure at all — I’m grateful for your presence in my creative world, however it takes shape.

Thank you for being part of this journey. As I step into a new year with intention and curiosity, I would love to have you walking a little closer alongside me.
