08/02/2021: Valeriane Leblond artist research.

 

Valeriane Leblond is a French artist who is based in the UK. Her work features really sensitive pallets with the occasional bright earthy one therefore I feel like she is an  appropriate artist to research.

I also really like how she creates these images which include elements of sub stories and narratives within them. For example the images below is of a house in the countryside however there is a narrative also existing in the bottom as we can see an woman with a cat putting washing on the line. Adding small narratives to illustrations of nature could work well within educational children's books as the message would be subtle which would be more appropriate for younger audiences so that the book doesn't feel too heavy when dealing with sensitive topics surrounding environmentalism.
