Meet Leah Goren, a Brooklyn-based illustrator and surface pattern designer whose painted ladies, animals and florals feature in commercial artwork, publications, textiles and other goods.
What’s your favorite medium for creating art?
Gouache is my favorite to paint with, but depending on the piece I may use ink or watercolor instead. I’ve also been making ceramics for the past couple years and it’s so much fun, but doesn’t really translate to my commercial work.
I love your ladies. They are fun, carefree and stylish. Amazing work.
