Emma Leonard

Multi-disciplinary Melbourne-based Emma Leonard creates art specialising in fashion and botanical illustrations, combining traditional pencil drawing, watercolour and oil painting with digital techniques. She was recently commissioned to illustrate the cover of the Australian Women’s Weekly ‘Royal Wedding Special Edition’, and contributed to Shout Out to The Girls, a book celebrating the incredible achievements of 50 high profile Australian women.

Emma has also created work for The Freedom Calendar, the proceeds of which were donated to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, and a suite of illustrations for fragrance house, SOH Melbourne. Emma’s clients include Mercedes Benz, Covergirl NY, Conde Nast, Random House, Grand Hyatt, Colgaqte, Mitsubishi and MTV.

She relishes the freedom, spontaneity and joyful reactions produced by her live fashion illustration service, creating customised artworks for in-store activations, private functions and commercial events such as the Spring Racing Carnival.
