Hi, my name is Ellie and I am an illustrator who focuses on surface pattern design from Castleford, UK. My patterns are mostly based on nature - plants, flowers, and animals - and the idea that no matter where you live you can bring a little joy from nature into your life. I use watercolours and printmaking techniques such as monoprinting and lino in my work for the colours, textures, and the hand-crafted element they bring.
I am also a frequent landscape painter - I love being able to capture the beauty of a landscape, whether it's the natural beauty or the small hidden details of a place people often miss.

Achievement - Uppercase Issue 63 'Sensuous Stationery'
I have been published in issue 63 of Uppercase (October-December 2024)!​
​
"These stationery boxes, including notebooks and greetings cards, are one-off pieces I made for my final university project, but would love to see them as actual products in stationery shops and garden centres. I made these designs with my Dad in mind; his love for gardening and brightly coloured plants has often been a source of inspiration in my work. I think these are sensory because of the handmade nature of the processes I used to craft the original images - monoprinting, lino printing and watercolour painting - as well as the textures and detail these processes create."
