Hello, I'm Charlotte and I'm the illustrator/designer/printmaker that is behind all you find here.
I'm from Amersham, BUCKS, but am now based in London. However, due to a love of travel you'll often find me on various trips round the country/world visiting friends and exploring new places.
Creating bespoke watercolour illustrations for people, for themselves or as a gift is what I love to do.
I welcome feedback, ideas, commissions and collaborations from near and far.
Working in watercolours, I'm able to create one off illustrations which are bespoke to order but I can also create a range that is accessable to all. My topic of choice is travel, namely drawing cities, buildings and street views is where I am most comfortable and happy. This being said, once you've had a look around my blog, you'll see that I rarely say no and have thus illustrated dogs, people and gardens quite a bit too!
I graduated from Birmingham City University, formerly University of Central England, in 2009 in Visual Communications and specialised in Illustration with Print-Making. Artist Books are another passion of mine and participating in the events that come along with this area of design. I love books - to read and to appreciate. I would class myself a 'Travel Illustrator' mainly due to the content of my illustrations being from somewhere other than 'home' and the fact that I enjoy traveling and am rarely in one spot for very long.
