Looking for Leola Bear? You’ll likely find her in her South London studio – surrounded by painting, sculptures and fashion designs. When she’s not there, she’s off traveling; looking for inspiration – and the perfect shade of plum.
A talented, distracted artist (with a habit of reheating the same mug of tea three times), Leola always gets lost in the process. She can’t help it – when inspiration strikes, the hours just melt away… Fortunately, her cousin Bartholomew Bear is always on-hand with a tea top-up and (slightly squashed) plate of biscuits. He knows the drill!
He also happens to be her favorite muse. She’s made every one of his costumes, from the ruby fluff of his Heartthrob stage outfit to the Bat Bear cape that he wore for a Halloween party. Even his bold Sun costume was a Leola original, designed to give him confidence for an upcoming carnival debut.
One day her talent will be recognized. For now though, Leola’s happy making magical things for her friends and family.
