Hidden Talents - Picking Up A Paint Brush With Shane Leonard

Up until March of 2019 Shane Leonard had never even touched a paint brush. Now, he just might be one of the most naturally talented artists I've ever seen. After his collegiate football career was cut short due to injury, Shane was forced to look for other ways to occupy his time. When his friends decided he had gotten a little too good at Fortnite, he turned his attention to painting pretty much on a whim.

It turned out he was pretty damn good.

Within just a few weeks he was hooked and started creating art as regularly as he could. That natural gift quickly turned into an apprenticeship with an extremely well-regarded local artist. In less than a year since his first painting, Shane has moved into his own studio, and has already begun commissioning paintings for paying clients and brands. His energy and passion for what he does is absolutely infectious, and you can't listen to this interview without getting jacked up.

I could not recommend checking out Shane's work enough. Instagram - @sleonxrd and Website - shanemakes.com
