The studio was founded by the artist, Talisa Almonte and is comprised of just her and her amazing supporter, bf, life partner, best friend and overall hype-man who helps paint some of the murals. He’s the number one unofficial employee.

Established in March 2021 as an ode to the founders’ father's legacy. Her LLC stands as a tribute that echoes his early influence on her artistic path and a continuation of his artistic heritage.

At Almonte Studio we pride ourselves at being adaptable while staying true to our style. We can perfectly combine client expectations and fulfill our dream of bringing joy to those around us. Be it: custom illustration, digital illustration, murals and more!

Our positive, can-do attitude sets us apart and makes us a great business to work with. We thrive in collaborations with kindred spirits—be it individuals or brands and hope you’d work with us on your next project. :)
