About Claire Sells | Whimsical Surface Pattern Designer & Illustrator
Welcome! I am Claire Sells, a UK-based traditional pencil and watercolour artist specialising in whimsical surface design and commercial illustration. Blending a background as a graphic designer and marketeer with a passion for fine art, I create detailed, story-driven artwork that brings everyday surfaces to life.
Working from my studio in the UK, I produce playful, narrative-led designs tailored for textiles, greeting cards, stationery, and home decor. Every piece begins by hand, using traditional watercolours and pencils to capture a timeless, nostalgic charm that connects emotionally with audiences.
Whether you are looking to licence artwork from my portfolio or collaborate on a unique creative commission, I bring a professional marketing edge and a reliable, collaborative approach to every project.
Let’s bring your products to life. [Contact me here to discuss your project].
