Leona
Creator of Artists Resource & Lead Facilitator

Leona created Artists Resource in 2011 with the Mission “To bring people together, to nurture Creativity and facilitate Transformation – for the benefit of the individual and the community.” She started with one small Art club in North London and in just a couple of years had grown to teaching in Schools every day and hosting Art Parties and Classes at the weekend. In the last few years, Leona provided Art workshops for the England football team and BAFTA and most recently for the Natural History Museum.

Leona has a strong background in material processes and techniques, having a degree in Applied Arts. Prior to setting up Artists Resource, Leona worked for a Art & Craft company, managing concession stands in Harrods, Hamleys and UK Trade Fairs. She also made Mosaic Murals for School Playgrounds with a local Artist.

Leona has Public Artworks most notably displayed in Mile End (E3) and Muswell Hill (N10) and in private sites in London, UK, Beverley Hills, California and Belize in Central America. You can see her work and commission Leona via her Artist website. In 2021, Leona launched her Online Beginners Courses where you can learn how to Draw, Paint and Craft from the comfort of your own home and now in 2026, she is writing a ‘How-to’ book containing 17 years of her unique Art and Craft Projects!

Holly
Lead Party and Event Facilitator

Holly has a love for all things bright, bold and colourful, spending most of her spare time in her studio creating colourful and humorous cartoons. Since graduating from Graphic Design, Holly has worked as an art director to inspire kids in schools to stay creative in their futures. She is deeply passionate about encouraging kids to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and believes Art is the best way to do this.

Lucy
Art Club and Party Assistant

Lucy has worked for decades as both a SENCO and Art Specialist Teacher in Primary Schools. She is especially passionate when introducing children to stories that provide insight into cultures and loves art as a vehicle through which children learn about history, literature, science, R.E and nature. Lucy believes that children need to work with their hands and to explore colour and ideas in a physical context, which in our digital age, is now more important than ever.

Noor
Art Party Assistant

Noor is an illustration artist with a focus on nature and philosophical concepts. She’s a graduate of Illustration and Visual Media and hopes to pursue a career in the creative-wellness industry. Noor admires the imaginative flare that children bring to their works and is excited about encouraging them on their creative journey.

Amy
Art Party and Event Assistant

Amy has a deep fascination in the natural world and studied Marine and Natural History Photography at University. Since then, she has been experimenting with portraying subjects such as plants, insects and landscapes through pen and ink, book making and photography. Amy feels that guiding others in their Artistic development inspires her and is one of the many enjoyable aspects of teaching art to young children.

You’ve nurtured an interest in so many different techniques and media. Both my kids absolutely loved your classes and we looked forward seeing what they would bring home each week. Thank you for everything Leona!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leona hosted my daughter’s 8th birthday party. A mixed group of 12 kids made the 3D animal masks. Leona and her colleague kept the children engaged and they made some wonderful animals! My daughter already wants to know what she can do next year. Leona was very quick to respond to any queries, friendly and efficient. All materials were provided and they even tidied up at the end. Would definitely recommend!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughters absolutely loved Leona's online drawing courses.  From the clear and friendly instruction to the variety of lessons that Leona made available, as well as, regular fresh content, kept them looking forward to the next installment.  I would highly recommend her online courses for young and old (as my husband and I got hooked into using the lessons too!).

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked a 1 hour Birthday Party Activity (Animal Masks) for my daughter's 6th birthday and everything went extremely well and smoothly.  Communication with Leona ahead of the party was easy and clear. Leona was helpful answering my questions. On the day of the party, Holly arrived on time and set up everything. She was very nice and interacted with the kids very well. We were hands-off for the full hour activity, Holly handled the 8 kids by herself perfectly. Kids had a blast. Holly then entirely tidied up the table after the activity. We will definitely book for another birthday activity next year.

I normally work in graphite (black and white). Learning about the history, meaning and characteristics of different colors has been so helpful.  Leona’s love of art and life is so contagious and learning from her is so much fun!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Artists Resource is a great way to engage with your inner artist! I signed up for myself, my wife and our 8 year old daughter so that we could do art sessions together. There is a huge range on offer, though we concentrated on pencil drawings as that is what my daughter likes to do most. The videos are are well paced, and Leona throws in lots of tips, advice and encouragement in all of them. We are all at different levels in terms of ability, but all found it good fun to do. You don't need to be a good artist already to be able to enjoy the sessions, but if you are you will still enjoy them. My daughter also does the after school clubs and loves them.
