“Illustrative Works & Commissions”
2017 - OnGOING
In addition to hefty conceptual pieces, Leasure also enjoys creating fantasy and illustrative artworks, often for commissions. "Alberio" from this series is Leasure's rendition of two main characters from her in-progress novel The Chain of Sacrifice expected to be published in 2028. Many of these pieces were drawn entirely from the artist's imagination, showcasing her unique ability to work without the use of reference images.
