Visions of Avalon: The Fantasy Art of Herb Leonhard Volume 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781986662260)

Herb Leonhard was born in Munich, Germany but grew up in the United States. One of his earliest memories was of a series of German children's books beautifully illustrated by Fritz Baumgarten. This, along with a childhood spent within the pages of comics, inevitably led to a career as an artist with a love of many of the classic illustrators, both traditional and contemporary, including the Pre-Raphaelites, Maxfield Parrish, Alphonse Mucha, N.C. Wyeth, Brian Froud and Roger Dean. Herb's over 30-year career as a professional illustrator and graphic designer has earned him numerous awards and international acclaim. He remains able to observe the natural world around us with a sense of wonder, and sees every subsequent painting and drawing as a new learning experience. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, son, two horses, four cats and a plethora of chickens. His work can be seen at: www.herbleonhard.com
