When did you first think about art as something you wanted to be involved with? Were you encouraged or discouraged by family, friends, teachers, mentors? Article by Leslie Cober My favorite part of being a professional artist, is that you never know what the next day will bring or where exactly your creative path will take you, or who will call you the next day with some kind of creative endeavor, or what that endeavor might entail.

I’ve created illustrations for an assortment of companies for decades. In addition to the traditional illustration assignment, often my favorite assignments come from “out of the box” opportunities….creating visuals and room design for private events, creating posters for important unity, climate, and world issues, designing and building elaborate parade floats, illustrating and designing a series of French soap, repurposing designer boxes and vintage album covers for solo and group exhibit, and most currently a favorite…outdoor murals.
