Hi, I'm Patti Argoff. I work in traditional watercolor on paper and digitally, creating illustrations of family life, kids, animals, and people in historical costume with a lively, animated quality and careful attention to detail. My work appears in children's picture books, textbooks, posters, board games, teacher and parent resources, children's magazines, e-books, and online educational programs for both children and adults. I began my career as a designer for silk-screened sportswear and sleepwear in New York City's garment center. My designs have been commercially produced and sold worldwide at Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Healthtex, Carter's, Danskin, OshKosh, and McKids. I earned a BFA in Visual Communication from The School of Visual Arts in 1981 and have received awards from How Magazine, the Syracuse Press Club, and the New York State Press Association. My specialties include Children's Book Illustration and educational materials, and I design for silkscreen and print/digital portfolios.
