Owner, Leanne Wildermuth : Artist by Nature
Davenport, Iowa Area
With a passion for animals and nature and a twisted desire to make the web a prettier place, I've created my dream job as a portrait artist and blog designer. I'm just as honored to have original oil paintings hanging in homes around the world as I am to have a blog design on display for all the web to see.
My Portfolio: http://intricateart.com
Painting (varied medium), Digital photography, Graphic Design
Corel Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photoshop, WordPress, CSS, XHTML, PHP
(Self-Employed; Myself Only; Fine Art industry)
September 2001 — Present (7 years 11 months)
I began offering custom portraits via the web in 2001, my primary focus on animals and pet portraiture. I have continued to develop my business online and locally (through fine art venues, exhibitions and community art projects) over the past several years.
In 2005, my graphic design interests collided with WordPress, a content management system that I use to manage my own portfolio and blog. In my pursuit of expanding my knowledge of WordPress and with further growth in design, I was offered a freelancing blog design position with an internet based design firm, EWebscapes (http://ewebscapes.com), owned and operated by Lisa Sabin-Wilson.
I currently offer custom portraits of people and pets, drawings, photography, custom illustrations and graphic design through my own studio, and blog design work through EWebscapes.
