VALERIAN
Welcome to Valerian
This website is the creative home of Gloucestershire based Illustrator Emma Leyfield.
COMMISSIONS OPEN
I am currently taking commissions for bespoke illustrations, specialising in watercolours, line drawings, portraits, and botanicals. Art is a wonderful gift to mark new beginnings and memories, the perfect mix of unique and personal. It wouldn't be out of place on a menu, a magazine or book cover. These are just a few of the things I do here at Valerian Illustration. As a creative mind, I am always looking for my next project.
Please don't hesitate to ask me questions about your idea.
WORKSHOPS
Workshops are a chance to share my world as an artist, be it botanical, watercolours, sketch-booking or life drawing, I find them a wonderful opportunity to meet like minded people. Whether you're looking for some parent-child activities or an artistic Hen-do, you're in the right place.
Online workshops coming soon.
