Hello! I’m an artist and illustrator based in a little studio at the top of my home overlooking hills in West Sussex (with usually my cat for company). I have always loved art since primary school when I was introduced to different pencils and shading. I remember thinking how wonderful it was to create different tones with only one pencil! After embracing art at school I graduated in Graphic Design and Illustration from John Moores University in Liverpool, before starting my career as a Graphic Designer in children’s book publishing. Subsequently I moved on to design and illustration for: ceramics, drink and food packaging and point of sale. Over the last ten years I’ve worked as a freelancer designing and illustrating books, prints and cards, but I’ve also developed my love for painting. I love spending time painting wildlife! I mainly draw my inspiration from animals; I love painting their faces and portraying their characters. My interest is now turning towards houses and landscapes as well and I'm really excited to see where this takes me. During 2024 I started teaching Watercolour classes and have absolutely loved it! I've created a number of Watercolour Lessons including an Intro to Watercolour, Postcard Paintings, Florals and Garden Birds. All these are 2 x 3 hour long sessions but can be adapted to cater for any class. Please do get in touch if you'd like to discuss an illustration project, commission a painting, purchase my greeting cards or book me to teach a watercolour class. I’ll be back in touch as soon as I can. Thanks! Georgina
