I’m Bee, an independent female artist with over 15 years of experience working with businesses and individuals to bring their creative visions to life through the art of hand drawn illustration.
Why illustration?
I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember. Ever since I could hold a paintbrush – and received my first Windsor & Newton watercolour palette at the age of four (which I still have proudly framed in my studio) – creativity has shaped who I am.
Art has always been at the heart of my goals. From school to art college and eventually flying the Midlands nest to complete my Illustration degree at Kingston University, drawing has been a constant thread throughout my life.
The journey hasn’t always been easy. Balancing the ups and downs of life in London while juggling multiple jobs to support myself was challenging, but my passion for illustration never wavered. In 2019, I finally took the leap into running my business full time, and I’ve never looked back.
I believe in saying yes to creative opportunities that truly resonate, and that mindset has led me to work with an amazing list of clients whom I’m incredibly grateful for. I’m proud of how far my illustration career has come – and excited to watch that list continue to grow.
The woman behind the art…
Midlands born and raised, London blossomed and bloomed. I’ve lived all over the capital for 15 years now; coming for the art and culture, and staying for the amazing friends and fab pubs. Having recently moved back to the Midlands I am able divide my time between my two homes and work with clients in both areas.
When I’m not painting or drawing, you’ll find me deep diving into second hand clothing shops, feeding my tattoo addiction or getting my nails done – oh, and at the pub with my mates, of course.
She knows her way around a paintbrush
My true passion is for the hand drawn, and I’ve kept that ethos since the beginning of my artistic journey.
In a digital world; I think it’s important to celebrate the unpredictability and originality that is gained from applying paint to canvas, whilst also being adaptable.
It may not always be pen to paper, sometimes it’s Apple Pencil to iPad, but I must always be drawing by hand. More importantly in an ever growing digital environment, it’s vital to support independent creatives and showcase talent in a collaborative way that celebrates and benefits both the client and the artist.
