VALERIAN
Welcome to Valerian
This website is the creative home of Gloucestershire based Illustrator Emma Leyfield.
WORKSHOPS
Workshops are a chance to share my world as an artist and meet like minded creatives. I teach a variety of classes around Gloucestershire in both drawing and watercolours, either as weekly classes or one off workshops. Have a look at what's on at the moment.
COMMISSIONS OPEN
I am happy to accept commissions, either as personal artwork or for your company. Watercolour illustrations are equally eye catching on display in your home, or in digitised form, perfect for you menu, magazine, or book cover.
I am always looking for my next project, please don't hesitate to get in touch about your idea.

Searle is most famous as a cartoonist and graphic artist, but it's his reportage illustration and its simplicity of capturing life on a page that most attracts me. Go to my Blog to read more!
