ABOUT

STORY

Hello, I'm Karen, a designer and illustrator based in beautiful West Sussex.  For as long as I can remember I have always loved art.  Doodling, drawing, painting and illustrating pictures, and often creating stories in my mind to go with them. 
 

I feel immensely grateful that I get to do what I love everyday. Creating colourful and detailed illustrations of things people love, to spark a little joy and happiness. 

I am an animal lover and am inspired by nature, wildlife, colour, light and detail; beautiful landscapes, books and music, and can be found most days illustrating, more often than not with a coffee, and listening to an audio book...   

Hark is a culmination of all the things I have learnt on my journey so far, and brings together a wide ranging breadth of experience since my Uni days. From Graphic and Magazine design, to most recently creating and publishing a range of bestselling, award nominated greetings cards under my own business, Sirocco Design, in High Street stores.

Now is the perfect time for a return to what I love most, creating thoughtful, beautiful pieces of artwork with heart.

 SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Protecting our world and wildlife for generations to come is something I am hugely passionate about, especially where it provides immense inspiration in my work. 

 

The items I create are mostly one off items, thoughtfully produced, with the intention that they will be kept and treasured for a long time.

 

One off and small batch item printing ensures we only produce what we need, to minimise any waste.

 

Carefully created, produced and packaged, I take time to responsibly source and use products for print and packaging that align with my own values on protecting our world and treading lightly.
