Artist Leslie Nemour is presenting an ARTTALK at The Gallery at The Palms Saturday, January 18, 3 pm. Join us at the gallery to listen to Nemour's presentation about her exhibition Sleepwalking.


"I eventually began referencing images from cinematic history to transcend
split-second moments of a story into an otherworldly, or fluttering existence.
Movie genres from past eras and cinematic sources (specifically from
the 40’s – early 70’s) are referenced in Sleepwalking to contrast the parallel

energy of the past with that of the present. Autobiographically they serve as a
barometer of changing social norms and resilience." - Leslie Nemour



The Gallery at The Palms is located at The Palms at Indian Head, 2220 Hoberg Road, Borrego Springs, Ca. 92004

About the Exhibit


Leslie Nemour’s Sleepwalking captures the feeling of lingering in a space after something significant has just happened. Her paintings evoke a sense of mystery and nostalgia, drawing inspiration from classic cinema. Each piece invites viewers to reflect on fleeting moments, from shadows and reflections to the emotional energy left behind in a room.


Nemour’s background in both painting and film is evident in this exhibit. Her use of framing, color, and lighting tells a story that feels both personal and universal, blurring the boundaries between memory, reality, and dream.


  • ARTTALK: On January 18, Nemour will discuss her creative process, the themes behind Sleepwalking, and the way film and art intersect in her work.


Why You Should See It


Borrego Springs offers a rich cultural experience, and this exhibit highlights the connection between art and place. Nemour’s paintings reflect themes of time and change, fitting perfectly with the desert’s sense of timelessness.


The Gallery at The Palms, with its mid-century modern architecture and serene surroundings, is the perfect setting to experience this unique collection of work.
