Hi, I’m Hannah…
…an artist & surface pattern designer based in Brighton on the South Coast of England.
A lifelong artist with roots in childhood creativity, I've transformed my passion for painting & drawing into a thriving professional practice specialising in hand-painted surface pattern design. Most recently my designs have adorned fabric, stationery & home décor products.
In my work I combine a deep admiration for the magic found in nature with a passion for creating designs that make an impact. I particularly love seeing my patterns on home decor products. The spaces we inhabit directly affect how we feel. They provide an opportunity for emotional nourishment, restoration & inspiration.
Our busy lives can feel disconnected from the natural world and a sense of wellbeing. Being surrounded by designs that are inspired by nature provides feelings of comfort & balance. Who doesn’t love walking into a space that makes them feel good?
My aim is to create work full of rich colour & detail, that can be enjoyed from afar yet also remains intriguing, encouraging closer exploration.
My process usually begins outside, taking in what’s around me and developing a tiny seed of an idea through pencil sketches. Combining what I can observe with what’s in my imagination is my favourite way to create. Next I explore colour palettes with watercolours. I love embracing the free-flowing & unpredictable nature of watercolour. I then overlay with ink & pencils to add structure, intricate details, & texture while deepening colours. The final step involves digital transformation to create cohesive pattern collections ready for print. Please contact me directly for projects or licensing enquiries.
