Hello, my name is Eve. I’m an illustrator based in Cambridgeshire. My work is formed from observational drawing and a love for capturing the atmosphere of a place through rich colour work. When working I tune into shape and colour to form my compositions while also working with a range of traditional mediums. However, I largely work with watercolour and coloured pencils to bring out the feeling of an illustrated piece using texture and colour.
Within a lot of my projects, my creative process is a balance of my illustrative pieces with a strong element of design to create an elevated outcome. Many of my designs incorporate negative space, as I found myself naturally using it to enhance the image. It forms new shapes which frame the illustrations, inviting new compositional possibilities.
