Leanne Gilroy

“The fact that the paintings are created by an artist from Rugby, the sports birthplace, provides an added layer of authenticity to her work.”Brett Gosper – former CEO of World Rugby

Leanne gained a first class honours degree in illustration in 2010 and has been producing commissions ever since. Including a high profile commission from World Rugby and various international and national rugby players. Leanne has most recently been commissioned by ITV  and featured in the build up to the Rugby World Cup semi-final and final coverage.

Leanne’s practice incorporates the use of a variety of textures and colours in multiple layers to produce portraits of great likeness and detail. She captures the essence of each individual and combines this exactness with a free and abstract contemporary style.

Leanne’s paintings hang in both public and private collections across the UK and overseas.
