Hi! Hola! My name is Luisa Leal.
I’m an illustrator & designer born and raised in Venezuela who calls Las Vegas home. From a very young age, drawing and creating were my form of expression. The colors and textures of my hometown, Maracaibo, inspired me and influences my work to this day. I create art that evokes happiness and beauty, mixing history, adventures, and personal experiences. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design and combined the technical skills with my passion for illustration to become a full-time artist.
