I’m Leonora, an illustrator working at the intersection of storytelling and craft. My work blends digital and paper-based techniques to create tactile, narrative-driven images for books, magazines, and brands. My home is in the countryside, where I am constantly inspired by nature, texture, and how design can evoke emotion through simplicity and colour.

Available for editorial, publishing, and branding commissions. Let’s bring your story to life through illustration. Book your appointment today and let the waves of inspiration carry you into a sea of possibilities.

About Leonora

Illustrator & Paper Artist

As an illustrator, my work bridges storytelling, design, and craft.
Drawing inspiration from nature, narrative, and tactile materials, I create imagery that merges the precision of digital design with the warmth of hand-built texture.

My illustrations are defined by bold colour, layered composition, and emotional clarity — qualities that make them adaptable across editorial, publishing, and branding contexts. Whether I’m sculpting forms from cut paper or shaping scenes digitally, my goal is always the same: to capture ideas with beauty, wit, and depth.

Creative Approach

Every project begins with a story.
I work conceptually — distilling a theme or brief into visual metaphors that connect instantly with readers. I’m drawn to projects that balance narrative and aesthetics: book covers that reimagine classics, magazine features that demand conceptual insight, and brand illustrations that translate identity into visual language.

My process combines sketching, paper cutting, and digital refinement. The result is imagery that feels alive, tangible, and memorable — art that invites a closer look.

Clients & Collaborations

I collaborate with publishers, design studios, and editorial teams who value visual storytelling and craftsmanship.
