About me

Briony Difford is an illustrator who works and lives in Cornwall. She is excited about the natural world and Asian-inspired imagery, both of which have become predominant features within her creative practise. She loves exploring narrative within her work, often creating story driven projects. Specializing in traditional calligraphy ink painting techniques, she creates imagery that combines intricate Japanese styled line work and composition with abstract elements and pleasing digital colour ways. The result is a sensitive combination of both traditional and contemporary techniques suited for a wide audience.
