Known as a community builder, Antonia Ruppert grew up watching her father draw after coming home from work. The father of five(her youngest brother yet unborn), he would use a pencil and eraser to relax and create.

Ruppert was highly influenced by seeing her dad create night after night. Hence, she was around seven years old when she copied Vitruvian Man by Leonardo Da Vinci. It was done from her mother’s medical book. Her mother shrieked when she found her on the living room floor sketching the nude drawing. Ruppert’s fascination
with creating was fully hatched in that moment.

Roy worked in Advertising for several years as Art Director on several accounts. He worked for Leo Burnett.
