Gallery owner brings San Francisco chic to Burque
In addition to a delightfully unusual name, Leslie Acosta-Isengard has a magnificently light voice. It’s dainty and guileless, the perfect complement to her hands, which are so slender that when shaking one of them, you almost wonder if it’s going to dissolve in your palm.

But although she may seem delicate, she’s a woman who isn’t afraid of chasing down what she wants.
