About

My name is Leo Trevino a Hispanic artist based on Missouri, I graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute with a BFA specialized in Illustration. After graduating I worked as a freelance children book illustrator, and contracted by the college to make a guidebook for the school. I’ve been a TA for KCAI, and I’m currently a High School Teacher.
I believe art is a powerful medium for personal expression, storytelling, and another way to communicate beyond any language barrier.
