Leafmore Studios strives to give form to feelings… To create magic in the mundane. To see creative possibilities.
Dynamic duo Becca McCoy &amp; Justin Groom are dedicated to collaboration, celebrating home, and creating from a place of passion.
Named for the street where the studio was formalized, within which there was a spindly potted lemon tree.
That impossible tree fruited a single improbable lemon which has become our studio mascot – a bright, cheery symbol of creation and success against the odds.
“By pen, paint, computer, and clay – for zombie bros and cat-lovin’ joes. Uncommon art for uncommon people.”
