Art by Ripley

I am an illustrator from Bristol.  Despite being a city girl I have a deep love and wonder for the natural world.  I take inspiration for my works from surrounding flora and fauna. On rambling countryside walks I imagine the lives who have trod these paths before us and the stories they told one another. Their intriguing local myths , folktales and lore are often used as a base for creating my own imaginary worlds.

​

I am multi disciplinary but particulary enjoy working with watercolour, print and ink. I am currently studying Illustration at UWE and you can see some of what I've been up to on my blog.
