Emma Leyfield - Illustrator
Studio 9

Specialising in observational watercolours, Emma is passionate about traditional methods of drawing that are being lost as digital art takes the stage. This is visible in her work, which is inspired by the illustrators of the Golden age and is often referred to as nostalgic; reminding the viewer of their childhood. This impression is emphasised by the subjects she choses, which capture the wonder and curiosity of the world around her, with particular focus on British plants and wildlife. She’s currently working full time as a freelance illustrator, from her studio here at the Three Storeys.

In her spare time, she nurtures a love of reading, a delight in gardening, as well as British wildlife, and a fascination with historical dress
