Talisa Almonte is not just an artist; she's a passionate advocate for individuality, diversity, and the power of art to convey messages of positivity. Her journey into the world of art and design began at a young age, thanks to her father, who had a thriving creative business known as Almonte Estudio in the Dominican Republic. In March 2021, Talisa established her own LLC, Almonte Studio, in loving memory of her father, who sadly passed away in February 2021. This podcast episode is a heartfelt tribute to his legacy.

However, what sets Talisa apart is her versatility. With a background in both fine arts and design, she can adapt her style to meet the needs of a wide range of clients.
Speaking of clients, Talisa's impressive list includes names like Afro-Latina artists and digital illustrators, Women's Collective Box, Harper's Corner, Pinups for Pitbulls, Come Here Buddy, Highlands Natural, CAALO Studio, and National Crittenton. Her work spans various creative domains, from illustration and editorial design to licensing, packaging, poster design, and even heartwarming portraits and pet portraits.
