Attorney By Day, This Illustrator Is Creating Inspiring And Endearing Disney Themed Art By Night

by Elana

Richelle Canto is literally doing it all: she's an attorney; she's a stepmother of 2 and a bio mommy of 2; she's an artist and illustrator. That's quite the resume for the Guam resident, who says that her Filipino-Chinese heritage has helped form her perspective.

How did the criminal law attorney and mother venture into such incredible illustrations? Her website says it all:

"In the middle of her legal career in Los Angeles, she took a brief hiatus to join the animation program at Santa Monica College. Life was too short not to pursue "the other fork in the road" that she put off when she went to law school."
