Hi, I’m Simone, it is lovely to meet you
Combining my passion for drawing nature-inspired illustrations and protecting the world that inspires me, I’ve found solace in the calming rhythm of pen and ink. It allows my mind to escape the digital, fast-paced world and create pieces filled with floriography symbolism and stories.
Based in the Nottinghamshire countryside, I’m a lover of slow living, a devotee of the great British outdoors, and a champion of the cosy.
Traditionally trained in art and graphic design. I have been a lover of drawing, typography, paper and design from a young age. My proudest accomplishment so far is illustrating a book for Penguin Random House, a real dream come true.
If not outside exploring, you will always find me buried under a pile of wildflower books, pen in hand, sketchbook open. With a peppermint tea and a square of dark chocolate. Embracing switching offline and reigniting with the traditions and craft of the hand-drawn.
