Hello! I'm Lleucu - welcome to my website. I'm a Welsh illustrator currently based in beautiful Macedonia, where I live with my husband, our dogs and two bunnies.
My work is inspired by a childhood spent in the beautiful mountains of Eryri and the love for nature, folklore and language that developped there. My main focus is children's book illustration, but since graduating I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects including large scale murals, animations, book covers, branding projects and a couple of author-illustrator projects.
After graduating in 2019 and following a stint as a foreign language assistant in Corsica, I started my illustration career during the 2020 lockdowns - and haven't looked back since!
