I am a visual artist and designer based in Essex, UK. I have a background in fine art painting and drawing, and am interested in narratives and the stories we create to explain what we do, and don't, understand. My work combines my love of folklore with a fascination for medical anatomy studies and the structure of the human body.
I work as a freelance artist, taking on a wide variety of roles. I currently spend around half the year working in television production as an art department assistant, making props, researching, and set dressing. The rest of the year I take on freelance commission work, including fine art painting, drawing, illustration, and sign writing. I frequently work on digital design projects, including logo design and social media content creation for several companies. I'm fuelled by tea and have a serious love of stationery!

Art Department AssistantEleanor Spanton
United KingdomFreelance
I work as a freelance art department assistant in television, and take on a range of tasks depending on the production. I've designed illustrative graphics for various shows, and am also a skilled prop maker. I particularly enjoy making miniatures, focusing on the details of the project. On other productions my role has been to find props to hire or buy, and dress them on to set. This has helped me to develop keen research skills, finding props that fit the production (and the budget!) I find the challenge of working in television's fast-paced environment rewarding, and love using my creative skills to contribute to lots of productions including:

I am a freelance artist and designer, taking on a wide variety of roles for both private and commercial clients. Commissions include fine art paintings, wall murals, portraits, concept drawing, social media content creation, logo design, window and shop displays, album art, and sign writing.
I have excellent draughtsmanship and traditional painting skills, developed through lifelong practice. My traditional drawing skills served as a solid base for sharpening my digital painting and design skills using Adobe Creative Suite. My Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign skills are particularly strong.
I enjoy working with clients to meet their brief, and take pride in delivering high quality work on time.
