Master of trade
I've chosen to write about Marguerite Sauvage as my example for a master of trade.
(Midle Age by Marguerite Sauvage)
Marguerite is a very successful French fashion illustrator who has worked for many different clients ranging from Playstation, Playboy magazine, Maybelline and DC comics.

She's an originally self-taught artist who uses both traditional and digital media in her artwork.
She originally studied Law and Communication in 2001 and only decided to pursue a career in illustration due to her lifelong passion for drawing. Despite being an illustrator, she as also worked in publishing, web design, interior design and textile design.
She's also a fan of comic books and sci-fi movies and references them frequently in her work.

I consider her to be a 'Master of trade' because she doesn't confine herself to one type of illustration market and she also doesn't have to change the way she draws or how her art looks in general to fit with what her clients ask of her. Her artwork is very stylish, distinctive and visually appealing which most members of the public and potential clients and commissioners would approve of.
