Meet the Artist
Jenny Leonard
I am a community driven commission artist always pursuing collaborative art projects that bring people together. I currently draw live illustrations for virtual online events and take illustration and painting commissions. I specialize in murals and site specific public art for the community. I have exhibited over 80 sculptures on public art trails and have collectively raised over 250k for partnering charities. My best sale at auction for Wild in Art was £25k for the flagship Elephant designed for The Big Trunk trail in Luton in 2021.
