‘My illustrations are largely decorative, and full of nature’s narratives. I love that an image can affect emotions, and I seek to bring joy and pleasure to all who buy my artwork.’
About
Bryony trained as an Illustrator with printmaking at Wolverhampton University (2000), and later completed an MA in Visual Communication at Birmingham City University (2007).
Since then, she has continued to experiment and explore through making and learning and discovered a passion for surface pattern design when she took Make it in Design and Make Art that Sells on-line courses, which honed her skillset in this area.
This surface pattern training means a proficiency in making repeat patterns as well as placement prints.
Bryony regularly uses Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop when creating artwork, but her signature style relies upon her ability to use traditional drawing, collage and painting methods when creating.
Bryony can create artwork to tight deadlines or dedicate time to more labour-intensive licensing projects. She is available to work on a freelance basis and welcomes opportunities to license or collaborate with companies to create beautiful ranges and new designs.
Client work ranges from projects as diverse as children’s book illustrations for the ‘The Tatty Shawl Cottage’ series to packaging and illustration work for hot new nursery brand Popsidaisickle, and most recently, botanical illustrations for Family Doctor’s products . Bryony’s client list includes NSPCC, Medici cards, British Heart Foundation and Water Aid.
