I first took part in the Artist Support Pledge not long after its inception in 2020. I was mainly making miniature watercolours alongside my detailed pen drawings. It took a while but I eventually sold £1000 worth of work and in turn bought work from two artists to complete my pledge. As 2025 has been a difficult year financially as an artist I decided to take part in Artist Support Pledge again, it’s such a great initiative and community, and I’m hoping that by being part of the pledge more opportunities will come my way.

Many of the ink drawings that I’ve been making for the last couple of years happen to be priced at £220 which is the new price for work in the pledge. Rather than singling out a few drawings, I’ve decided to include all original work that is priced at £220 or under in the pledge. Once I reach £1100 worth of sales through those original pieces, I will be delighted to add to my own art collection by supporting another artist.

All of the drawings available are at claireleach.com/shop.
