Under the name Renmeleon, I’ve been a working illustrator, writer, and designer since 1986.  I love pattern / mark-making, so Surface Pattern Design became a way that I could make my work multitask for me. I have taught Surface Pattern Design for several years now and love playing muse to new students who want to learn the craft.
