About Bree Léman
Born is New Jersey, my artistic journey began at the Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where I earned my Bachelors of Fine Arts in Illustration & Graphic Design. After graduation, I left the cold winters of the Northeast and moved to the sunny beaches of Florida.
After getting settled in Florida I began to experiment drawing in Adobe Illustrator. As my knack for designing fashion illustration began to develop, I earned a position as a freelance artist for Metro Creative Graphics in New York City. In addition to being a commissioned freelance artist for Metro, I worked as the Creative Art Director and sole designer for a monthly woman's fashion, glamour, and entertainment guide for the Greater Daytona Beach area called My Bliss Magazine. While working for My Bliss Magazine I was presented with an opportunity of illustrating my first published children's book, "Friends are like Shoes", authored by Kendall Hawthorne.
In considering myself a Parisian at heart, I draw my design inspiration from my travels, particularly Europe, by studying urban culture, contemporary fashion, and architecture.

Bree, interesting. If I recall correctly, you were quite into art when we were at Clearview at the same time. I made my way to Maryland for college lacrosse, then Marines and on to Miami Beach for a few years in the modeling and promoting biz… this is Brandon Vidal. I was only around for about a year, but you may not remember me…. I say you may. Nothing spectacular, just interesting to see a name from the past and I must say that your renderings are great! You certainly have the license for it! I truly hope all is well. I’m in Dallas, new home, gettin married in Dominican Republic in two months!!!! I do miss Miami though…. even though it get’s a bit wild at times. I enjoyed Boca for a little while in television production…. now on to steers and trucks in Texas!! My fiancee’s name is Jessica Van Ess, we use her profile on Facebook, if ya wanted to see us and our puppies and such, just look her up… God Bless take care Bree
