Helen Leslie Illustrator
Helen graduated from the Surrey Institute of Art and Design in 2001 with a degree in Fashion Promotion and Illustration and has worked since then in graphic design and marketing. Helen's illustration stems from a love of drawing and combines original hand-produced drawings with some Photoshop wizardry to create a distinctive style.
The baby name picture idea sparked from the wish to find an original, personal present for her friend Bea's beautiful new baby Thea in 2008. It has grown from there, with many people requesting individual illustrations to give as presents to new babies born to friends and family. NEW baby name theme - see Flynn (Noah's Ark themed picture)
"Really beautiful gift for my niece's Christmas present. She has an unusual name so I know this will be appreciated. The illustrations are done beautifully and with such skill. It looks great in the frame - so glad to have it ready to give! Very quick and efficient service. Extremely happy! Thanks Helen!" Lovely feedback after delivery of 'Sorrel' picture
