Statement Patrick Leger is a North Carolina-based illustrator. Born in 1979 in the foothills of North Carolina, Patrick attended East Carolina University where he received a degree in painting and a year later enrolled in the Masters program at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. After college in 2007, Patrick decided to begin exploring a career in illustration and got his start doing work for the Op-Ed section of the New York Times. Greatly influenced by the work of artists of the 1960s and with a love of everything from that period, Patrick's work combines traditional aesthetics with modern sensibilities. His work has been recognized by American Illustration, Communication Arts, and The Society of Illustrators.
