About Rania Leslie

Originally from North Dakota, Rania comes from a long line of creative entrepreneurs and was raised to believe that life’s greatest purpose lies in embracing your true passions. From a young age, she knew her future would revolve around art, a God-given blessing she is beyond passionate to pursue. This inspired her move to Austin, Texas to build a career rooted in creativity, purpose, and connection.

Her journey in Austin began in real estate, where she found some success, and grew her love for this beautiful city. However, she ultimately decided that her true calling has always been her only priority. Known all her life for her creativity, Rania chose to honor that identity fully by taking a leap of faith and leaving behind a comfortable path to pursue something deeply human in an increasingly automated world. Her mission is to preserve the authenticity and emotion that only handmade work can bring, creating art that feels personal, enduring, and alive.

Beyond her studio, Rania lends her talent to meaningful causes, from painting murals for a school in Guatemala to donating original works for charity auctions. When she’s not painting, she enjoys time with her two crazy huskies, exploring Austin with friends, or traveling north to visit family in North Dakota and Minnesota, especially at the lakes, her favorite place to recharge and find inspiration.
