Leanne Beardsley is a British self-taught collage and mixed media artist. She has written and is currently illustrating her debut children’s book. Inspired by finding nature in the every day Leanne likes to create and take inspiration from nature’s pallet. Gouache is her favourite medium but her painted papers for collage are usually an acrylic/gouache combination. 

In 2018 whilst on a nature walk with family and friends, her then 6 year old daughter uttered four little heartfelt words that became the inspiration of a beautiful story for children that captures the emotional connection we have to the earth and everything in it.
