About
Hi! My name is Emily and I’m an illustrator based in Lancashire.
I work from my home studio in the lovely coastal town of Lytham St Anne’s, and you’ll usually find me listening to music whilst I paint, watering my plants or dreaming of being on an adventure!
I love to create vibrant mixed-media illustrations and enjoy working in a variety of ways, combining traditional and digital methods. Typically, I use my favourite gouache paints and coloured pencils with professional Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator software. I would describe my work as playful, whimsical, and joyful. I like to make people smile and to share a little colour through art prints, stationery and gifts.
My work takes great inspiration from nature, animals and little joys in everyday life, including travelling, popular culture and nostalgia. I always search for inspiration from anywhere I visit, and take photos of everything I find interesting!
Art has been my passion from a very young age. I developed my skills throughout my education and achieved a First Class Honours Degree in Illustration. I decided to turn my love for creating artwork for friends and family into a small business, selling my designs as printed goods or through commissions, while I continue to expand my professional portfolio.
All my products are handmade and printed with love from my desk studio, printer, and cutting machine at home (excluding my new pin badges and washi tape, which were manufactured with an ethical and sustainable B CORP certified supplier). For printing, I use premium heavyweight paper/card and the best quality ink. I also use sustainable rigid packaging sourced from other local and national businesses, and pledge to use sustainable practices and materials where possible.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for stopping by and supporting my small business! It means the world to me :)
Artwork prints, cards and other goods are available on my Etsy Shop.
