7 Illustrators To Follow
The right print changes a room in the same quiet way a good book changes a shelf, not through volume, but through the particular energy it brings to everything around it. Whether it's Olivia Sewell's acrylic-and-ink scenes that carry the warmth of a southern French summer, or Lucy Mahon's journal-sourced love letters to ordinary life, the illustrators in this edit share a sensibility: work that feels personal without being niche, joyful without being naive. These are the seven illustrators whose prints we keep returning to.
Olivia Sewell

She strongly believes a home should be filled with objects and art that bring joy to it's inhabitants. The West-Kent based artist and illustrator works mainly with acrylic paints and Indian inks. Her style is inspired by summers in the South of France, endless sunshine, good food and family.
Lucy Mahon
