Our Story
What’s up Creatives! Welcome to LijeArt. I'm Elijah Brown, also known as Lije and I'm the Illustrator/Designer that created LijeArt.
When asked to put this “Our Story” page together, all I could think about was my journey as a Artist. My creativity is the rare commodity that makes me who I am today. At times when i didn’t have the words to express myself I turned to Art. After experimenting with different mediums, I learned that my real passion was expressing my creativity in every way that I could think of. Above all, my journey as an artist led me to connecting with creatives, entrepreneurs and supporters that resonated with my purpose allowing me to take it further.
The ability to create new ideas and concepts out of thin air, or give value to a blank page has always excited me. So I decided to use my talents for good, solving design problems for companies and businesses to help them grow their brands. Over the past 5 years Elijah has facilitated hundreds of graphic designs, illustrations, clothing designs, advertisements, promotional copy and websites. With clients ranging from Small Business Owners to top name brands like:
Amazon, McDonalds, Sunglass Hut, LinkedIn, Salvatore Ferragamo, Chanel, Savage x Fenty, Disney, Gucci, Nissan, Honda and much more.
Getting to this point in my career took years of determination chasing purpose and fighting through doubt, and this is only the beginning.
The goal is to build a blueprint that shows young artists the abundance and opportunity that comes with being creative. To build a platform to inspire all creatives who were ever told they would never be successful or make a living through their craft. To many, Art is just a hobby that isn’t seen as a necessity or a commodity. To creatives, Art is a way of life, a way of communicating, and openly expressing ourselves. Creatives are the unconventional people who breathe life into the boring monotonous cycle. We are the innovators, pioneers, and visionaries that have shaped the world we currently live in.
One day LijeArt will serve as a beacon for aspiring artists, showing them that anything is possible, as long as you Get Creative and Put Your Ideas on the Page.
All in all, my Creativity has made me who I am today. I taught myself how to draw, but what I cherish the most is my family for instilling in me Leadership, Strength, and Determination to always follow my dreams and to never give up. Through those values instilled and moving with purpose, I created Lijeart.
