My Bio
A native of Northern California, I grew up illustrating the world around me. A graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, I achieved my first solo show shortly after graduation in Spring 2009. I've have since had my work shown in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury, as well as numerous art events in the Northern California. Heavily influenced by fashion illustration, anime, and the female form, I try to blend my passions in unique ways. In my free time I enjoy thrift store shopping, playing video games, and cuddling my guinea pig, Pokey.

I host an online video blog show entitled Art NuVogue in which I document my creative process and share my ideas and inspirations! I do speed painting demos so you can see how my work develops from start to finish! Check out the show on YOUTUBE here: www.youtube.com/user/MissLeila…
