Food Illustrations

I’ve been painting food illustrations, as I’m currently focusing on emailing cafes for design work/painted a-boards. As I often use pastels they add a bold whimsical feel to the food, I’ve always wondered how my style would reflect on different objects.

Illustrated Mugs & Notebooks

For my Etsy shop I put my illustrations onto mugs and notebooks, it’s wonderful to see my designs on actual objects. They both came out so well, I even added patterns onto the inside of the notebooks!

Moving to Cambridge

Last October we moved to Cambridge, it’s such a beautiful city and I’m really loving cycling everywhere. It was also our first time moving out, so i’ve enjoyed decorating out little flat. This inspired an illustration as all i’ve been looking at are dreamy interiors.

Promo Postcards

These are some postcards I’ve been sending out to publishers and art directors, using my recent painted illustrations of portraits and wildlife. I also really enjoyed hand drawing some typography to create an info side. I found some on-brand envelopes and spent time hand writing the addresses, they turned out lovely and I’ve had some really encouraging responses from them so far.

Ladies of Nature Illustrations

I’ve been busy creating another collection of personal illustrations, Ladies of Nature. Bringing together ladies and breathtaking wildlife and nature. I really wanted more practice with painting portraits and combining them wit animals created a wonderful combination. I used features from rams, owls, cats, snakes and deers. These will hopefully be making their way to my shop soon!

A Little Nordic Illustrations

Since graduating I’ve been creating my own online shop to sell my illustrations. I’ve spent time learning how to use gouache paint which I’ve fallen in love with for it’s lovely smooth texture to paint with and matt finish. It’s been a material I’ve always wanted to have a play with. I learnt the hard way that it often drys darker that intended.

I created illustrations inspired by my trip to Scandinavia last year, I fell in love with the colourful buildings, clean sophisticated design and breathtaking nature. The collection is called A Little Nordic and includes traditional wooden houses and sleek townhouses from across the countries, typical Scandinavian wildlife and the famous fjords and mountains.

If you’re interested in any of the illustrations, please do take a look at my store Delightful Lines.
