Why Lionheart?
The name started back in my college days- I was playing with an anagram generator and it rearranged "Catherine LaPointe" into "Patience Lionheart". I thought it sounded pretty cool, but soon forgot about it. After many years it has recently re-entered my mind, because of how well it has represented my journey. I have absolutely needed to learn patience while building my business. But patience alone won't get you anywhere. If you want something to happen, you need to believe you can do it. Don't take no for an answer- make it happen. Be bold.
About Catherine LaPointe Vollmer
|
I grew up in the "North Country," the area of New York above the Adirondack Mountains near the Canadian border. I earned my BFA in illustration from Syracuse University, completed internships with the Florence International Theater Company and Illustration House, then returned to the North and now run my home studio on a freelance basis.
I am a fine artist, book cover designer, and poster artist. I enjoy dabbling in many different styles of artwork and always have several projects going at once. I love to travel, and am often inspired to create artwork from my travels. I work in the style of Modern Impressionism. Modern impressionists seek to capture the fleeting effects of light through loose and expressive brushwork. Creating something beautiful gives me joy and purpose. |
