Crafted with humor across an unexpected range of topics, Self Portrait as Vanishing Act is a

beautifully sequenced series. This is a mischievous collection. Well-loved, showing signs of

wear, each portrait is a treasure of the self-a family heirloom, porcelain doe with broken and

glued ear; thrift store crystal goblet, lone survivor in a broken set. Leslie Ullman skillfully guides

us through her portfolio of sketches, and I'm captured by her magic.
