Looking for Leola Bear? Youâll likely ďŹnd her in her South London studio â surrounded by painting, sculptures and fashion designs. When sheâs not there, sheâs off traveling; looking for inspiration â 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 canât help it â 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. Sheâs made every one of his costumes, from the ruby ďŹuff of his Heartthrob stage outďŹt 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 conďŹdence for an upcoming carnival debut.
One day her talent will be recognized. For now though, Leolaâs happy making magical things for her friends and family.
