3. About the Artist
Leonard Filgate is best known for his whimsical and magical Rip Squeak® images
and books which are loved and collected worldwide. A self-taught artist, he
started out as a fine artist and was part of the San Francisco scene for many
years. In 1997 he ventured into the world of children’s literature and has since
received many honors and accolades, including the honor of being the featured
illustrator for the 2003 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. His books and
characters have also been featured at the Boston Globe Book Festival, Latino
Book & Family Festival, Hollywood Blockbuster Parade, and the White House
Easter Egg Roll. Two of the children’s books he illustrated have been honored
with Independent Publisher (IPPY) Awards. He had a major solo exhibition at The
Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington, Delaware in 2005/2006. He is also included
as one of the children’s book illustrators in an exhibition produced by Los
Angeles’ Simon Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance entitled “Every Picture Tells a
Story,” described as “a celebration of diversity and tolerance as portrayed in
illustrated children’s books”. From the Wiesenthal, the exhibition has travelled to
the Bremen Museum in Atlanta, the Spertus Museum in Chicago, and the
Indianapolis Children’s Museum.
Leonard’s artwork is in many private and public collections around the globe. His
Rip Squeak® books have sold over 500,000 copies in six languages. In 2006, he
became an artist member of the Society of Illustrators in New York City. He
continues creating Rip Squeak® imagery and also works on other literary and
fine art projects. He was born and raised in San Francisco and currently lives in
Fresno’s Tower District.

4. Art Inspires!
There is clear evidence that a patient's physical well-being is fundamentally linked to
his or her emotional and spiritual well-being… and artwork can play a
decisive role in promoting overall health.
“Art is a catalyst in the healing process, providing psychological benefits and reducing stress.”
- Liz Lawson, DuPont Building Innovation (The Intersection of Art and Design in Healthcare)
“Your artwork captivated my attention. The images were so wonderfully whimsical and innocent and I was
flooded with tears and smiles after viewing each one. They are such a stark contrast to my work and I
wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such fantasy.”
- In a fan letter from Karen Carbonello, Former Executive Director, Deirdre’ House,
Morristown, NJ
“I can’t tell you how gleeful [Filgate’s art] has made me! I am a 43 year old musician and have had a very tough
two years. My soul feels spent but this wonderful art awakened something in me. It is pure magic and my
spirit swells again with a happiness I can’t explain!”
- Written in a letter to the Filgates by a woman with severe, major back injuries and chronic pain
“Recent clinical studies have concluded that placing original artworks within the healthcare environment can
reduce levels of anxiety, stress and depression and improve communication between patients and
healthcare professionals.”
- From A Study of the Effects of Visual and Performing Arts in Healthcare, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital (UK), from
1999 to 2000
“There’s nothing like it! People fall in love with Rip Squeak. They like to feel good and this artwork makes them
smile with joy. They instantly relate to the paintings.”
- Former gallery director, Jeff Kamka, Galleria di Sorrento,Caesar’s Forum Shops. Las
Vegas, Nevada
Happy, joyful art can enhance a patient’s comfort level and inspire them in many ways.
