Hello, I’m Meriel, a Cambridge-based illustrator and designer. My work focuses heavily on shape and tone, specifically black and white or monochrome pieces. I create using a range of media, but digital painting, lino cut, etching and pen drawing are where I feel most comfortable.
My aim when creating illustrative work is to evoke emotion in the viewer, specifically to add drama, tension or intrigue. When it comes to graphic design however I am more focused on bold, impactful compositions and colours specifically designed to lead the eye to the most important areas of the design.
Thematically I am inspired by the medieval era and the gothic aesthetic. A lot of my work draws inspiration from patterns and colours associated with these two visual genres.
