Leanne M. Bazzetta is an illustrator and social worker who lives in Chicago, IL. Leanne is originally from the countryside of SE Wisconsin and has been drawing since she can remember. At eighteen she moved to Chicago where she started her career as a professional artist and had several smaller-scale openings of paintings, photography, and drawings. In 2009 Leanne moved to Brooklyn and discovered that illustration/small scale works were her true calling in art. Now, after a two-year stint in New York City, Leanne is back in the Midwest and ready to sketch up a storm (in gray-scale only).

While she primarily focuses on her personal art work or the creative arts therapy groups she facilitates, Leanne has done illustration work for commission including tattoo design and event advertisements, as well as pro-bono work for non-profit organizations deserving of cost-free art. Leanne has also done work for major corporations and small ones, too...but she likes making independent works-on-her-own-terms the best.
