BEHIND THE ARTIST | Leslie
Leslie Davis (SN: Muirii) is a Georgia-based illustrator who is passionate about worldbuilding and design. To achieve her professional goals, she seeks to work with an artistic community that shares her interests in creating beautiful worlds that provide viewers with a sense of tranquility and relaxation. Through her art, she strives to offer people an exciting escape from reality. She utilizes software such as Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, and Photoshop in her role as a digital artist. However, she continues to enjoy working with traditional media such as charcoal, acrylic ink, and markers as well. Her work has been featured in a number of gallery shows (two of which were juried), two of her own books have been published, and two artist communities have been founded.Her pieces are inspired by anime, manga, hip hop, and role-playing video games. Her pieces depict unique characters with compelling backstories and the worlds in which they must survive. The vibrant colors of her work are well known for giving viewers a feeling of brightness and joy. She enjoys writing as a hobby, which enhances her ability to gather and articulate her thoughts.In her small hometown of Rockmart, where Leslie was raised, she is surrounded by a loving, supportive family. Apart from studying art, she is also interested in studying Korean, Japanese, and Hip Hop culture. Currently, she is a beginner when it comes to the Korean language. She enjoys upcycling old furniture, as well as playing video games to gather even more inspiration for her works. Her expertise also extends to writing resumes and editing photographs. Upon graduation from Kennesaw State University in 2022, she plans to pursue a career in character design.She has received numerous awards and has published work in Old Red Kimono, the literary magazine of GHC. Her artwork has been featured in two exhibitions: the Spring Art Exhibition in 2015 & Rockmart's Juried Art Competition. Additionally, she was selected to have her work displayed within the Rockmart Cultural Arts Center. Since 2011, her Spirit Pump Design has been displayed at Raceway where every cent is donated to the Booster Club.
