I had a lot of fun making this pattern and I’m excited to make some coordinating designs.✨This is my entry for the “A Trip to the Beach” design challenge with this week! It’s called Octopus Beach Coral Fish… Voting is open! 🐙

🧡 I would be so grateful to have your support to make this dream a reality! 🧡 TODAY, Wednesday, is the LAST DAY to vote! Are you wondering if you can share this with your friends? YES! That would be amazing!

It's a thrill that my Coral Reef Fish design was selected as one of the 14 finalists in the Ayara Home wallpaper design contest! Three top designers will have an opportunity to license their own collection of wallpaper and art prints as new Ayara Artists and I'd LOVE to be one of them! (2 from voting and one chosen by Ayara). Voting closes TODAY Oct 11 at 11:59pm Mountain Time.

🧡 Thanks so so much for your support!!

POV: Stacks of painted motifs just waiting to become usable patterns. This image is on the inside cover of my 2023 pattern brand book. I wanted to include a picture that shows a glimpse of one part of the creative process.
✨Just one more page to share with you ... the front cover!

Hello there! If we haven’t met before, I'm Leslie. I'm an artist and surface designer living in the Madison, Wisconsin area. Lately, I've been sharing (in reverse order) the pages from my brand book that I put together earlier this year. It's something I made to showcase my work for other small (or large) businesses who need art for their products. A way to get to know me and the kind of art I make and see if we might fit.
And today, we've reached the bio page. I've included almost the whole book in this post, so if you take a second to swipe through, you'll be able to see how the pages work together. I hope you enjoy it! 🥰

Even as an adult, I like to find places to sneak in fun, whimsical patterns. I feel like a fun little rabbit-patterned wallet would be a good way to do that.

The second image is another page from my recent brand book. Only a few more pages to go and I'll have shared all of it with you.
