About

I am Leela Lamont, the artist behind Little Fig Portraits.

I live in Kent with my three little figs, Alba, Eadie and Brodie, and husband Alistair. Having long been an art lover, I rediscovered my love of portrait painting during lockdown and especially the joy of capturing special moments of my two girls - and now of other’s little ones.

I paint in a range of acrylic, oil and watercolour, but find water-mixable oils the best for these portraits.

I love to paint and love the creativity of these special little portraits that can be treasured for years or given as gifts that are guaranteed to bring a smile to someone’s face.
