​Hello! My name is Leah Gaspard, and I am a children's book illustrator based in Wisconsin. Thank you so much for checking out my artwork!

​

I am a self-taught artist with a Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Neuroscience. I have a passion for illustrating stories that are whimsical, fun, and connect to the human experience through mental health and educational themes. I take great inspiration from Studio Ghibli films, nature, and anime. 

In my time off, I can be found crocheting on the couch with my husband and two cats (Marceline and Pumpkin), and exploring new hiking trails around Texas and neighboring states!

​

I'm currently available for children's book cover and interior illustration commissions — middle grade and picture book. Get in touch at leahalysseart@gmail.com.
