Leslie painted a beautiful mural in our front entryway at Medlock Bridge Elementary School. She came up with the drawing just from a few remarks of what we were looking for and it was perfect. She had to work through our summer hours, sometimes without air conditioning and never complained. Leslie was always professional, on time and completed the job quickly. I enjoyed working with Leslie, she does great work and I would recommend her and use her services again. Thank you Leslie for a job well done, all our students, staff and community love the mural.

I have worked with Leslie for almost six years. She has worked in the front office, designed a wide variety of marketing materials, helped develop programs for and instruct summer camp and in our classrooms. Leslie is very dependable with high standards in her work.

Leslie Murphy is a gifted artist who I commissioned to paint a portrait of my three children. Throughout the drafting and painting process Leslie consulted me and made any changes that I suggested. The resulting portrait is absolutely a perfect depiction of each of my children and captures their individual personalities. I asked Leslie to create a specific background and to use specific colors for my children's clothing. She was consistently responsive and supportive of my suggestions. I cannot imagine a better experience. Leslie is and excellent artist and professional,

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When possible, I like to meet with a client in person to discuss the job details and process. Should the client decide on my services, I will draw up a contract to get the process started. Once the contract and deposit (half of estimated balance) have been received, my next step is usually to either shoot reference photos of the portrait subject, or help the client choose a suitable photograph to work from. From there I create a line drawing for the client to approve or suggest changes before the finished artwork has begun. Upon approval of the line drawing, I work to complete the final artwork. When the artwork has been completed and approved, it is delivered to the client.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned my BFA in illustration from the Atlanta College of Art. I graduated in 2005 with Suma Cum Laude honors. After college, I began teaching drawing and painting classes and working as a freelance artist, specializing in custom portraits and illustration.
