talks and workshops
Leanne is passionate about building children’s literacy. As an experienced teacher, she is happy to demonstrate the illustrating process from idea, drafts, storyboards, sketches and final illustrations. Using PowerPoint, puppetry and performance drawing, Leanne will inspire children to unplug, connect and revel in their natural world.
She has spoken to adults (through her role as an art/music teacher) about the beauty of encouraging their children to unplug, engage and build a love for the natural world and the importance of imaginative and creative play.
