About me

I am currently a 3rd year BA Illustration student at Arts University Bournemouth and am passionate in leading educational art workshops, children’s illustration and printmaking. I have experience planning and leading various creative workshops for students with the StoryWorks charity. Teaching students techniques and working through each process allows me to further my own personal illustrative practice and passion for sharing creativity. My most recent pieces focus on themes of nostalgia, nature and small interactions, with my goal to bring each piece to life. Check out my website for more work: https://chloecillustration.com
