Lucy Grepne Lucy is a Bristol-based illustrator who captures the essence and charm of everyday life with her loose, energetic watercolour style. Working digitally, Lucy creates vivid layers of watercolour strokes, which are then printed to the highest quality, resulting in timeless artwork that mirrors the depth and characteristics of original pieces.
Chiara Mensa is a Bristol-based self-taught printmaker and emerging artist who has been active since early 2022. Her work is unified by her love for the natural world and interest in the detailed observation of her surroundings, from animals and plants to inanimate objects and patterns.
Chiara’s main focus is the creation of original art prints from carved lino blocks that she handprints from her home studio using a tabletop press or humble wooden spoon. She truly enjoys the slow making that comes with hand printing linocut blocks, producing small batches of limited edition prints which make for a great way to start collecting original art.
