Leno Prestini was an artist from Clayton, Washington in the 1920s - 1960s. Many of his paintings are on display in museums throughout the Pacific Northwest including the Keller Heritage Center Museum and Park in Colville, Washington and the Old Schoolhouse Museum in Loon Lake, WA. Prestini was also a sculptor. He sculpted the ram's heads that adorn the The Davenport Hotel (Spokane) in Spokane, Washington. In 1965, his estate donated a 60 foot totem pole to the Spokane Interstate Fair.

He seemed to be an energetic, happy man with eccentric tendencies. He designed and built his own underwater diving equipment and tried to aid local police in finding a dead body in a lake around the area. Though seen as energetic and happy, Leno Prestini committed suicide in 1963.
