CO-WORKING THURSDAYS CIC
"Leela joined us at our event and did illustrations for our attendees. They were all amazing! She is very, very talented, but just as importantly she is friendly and professional. She made me feel at ease whilst drawing me and I couldn't believe what she did in such a short space of time...
Just amazing. I would highly recommend her!"
- Clare Wilson, Co-Founder, Co-Working Thursdays CIC
"I absolutely love the illustration Leela drew of me! I wasn’t sure what she’d be able capture in only 5 minutes but wow I was so impressed!"
- Alex Williams, Co-Founder, Co-Working Thursdays CIC
WHY CHOOSE ME?
I'm Leela, a professional illustrator based in Guisborough, North East England. I travel to events in North Yorkshire, Teesside, Co. Durham, Newcastle and Northumberland, and further afield on occasion.
I've been a professional illustrator since 2020 and have created artwork for clients such as Crayola, before discovering the world of live illustration, which now forms the majority of my work.
Since April 2024 I've illustrated at over 30 weddings and events - from intimate celebrations with small guest lists, to large luxury events with 150+ attendees.
Before launching my live illustration business, I worked full time in a corporate career for over 14 years.
I've also sat through plenty of dull conferences and events and wished there had been SOMETHING that made the day memorable!
I'm calm, professional, polite and reliable. I understand that the attendees of your event need to leave having had the best possible experience. I'm here to help you achieve that!

WATERCOLOUR LIVE ILLUSTRATION
WATERCOLOUR LIVE ILLUSTRATION
For a classic touch of artistry, traditional media never fails to impress. If digital doesn't seem to fit the theme of your event, I am experienced in the use of watercolours to create live portraits in as little as 10 minutes per person.
Your attendees receive a truly bespoke piece of art to cherish for a lifetime, created using high quality, professional materials for a luxury finish.
