Malcolm Liepke

Born: 1958 in Minneapolis Minnesota.

Education: Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California for a year and a half. Then he went to NYC to study on his own working from Sargent, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Velasquez and Whistler. His style has in turn inspired many others.

In the early part of his career, Liepke began working in the world of illustration and by the early 1980’s, he had earned an award-winning reputation as an illustrator with works appearing in magazine like Time and Forbes. Over time, Liepke grew tired of the lack of control in terms of subject matter, and by the mid-80’s decided to strike out on his own and become a full-time artist.
