Leis was born in Viljandi and was educated at the Tartu Art Institute and Talinn Art Institute.[1][2] Her works mostly represent abstract forms in nature, including flowers, fruits and vegetables, but also landscapes. She developed a silk screen technique that became her trademark. In 2001 she was awarded the Order of the White Star.

In November 2014 the Tartu Art Museum held an overview exhibition of her work.[3]
