I launched my illustration business, XO-LP in 2009, going full-time as an artist in 2014. In the past 9 years, I have worked on over 600 custom illustration projects including illustrations that appeared in Midwest Living and Better Homes and Gardens Magazines, a Rogue jump box that Carrie Underwood owns, a portable mural for Facebook, a water tower that looks over my hometown of Muscatine, Iowa, collaborations with Bud Light, VizyPay and the student body at Greenwood Elementary School.

Working with clients to create thoughtful, creative work made with markers and wit, I specialize in whimsical line-drawings. I am skilled in Photoshop, Illustrator, and Procreate, but I make sure my digital illustrations maintain the handmade quality of the work I do in black ink. Taking inspiration from my childhood favorites (Highlights Magazine and Where’s Waldo books) the goal of my work is always to delight my clients.

I specialize in bringing ideas to life with a felt-tip pen.

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
