Poonam Mistry

I am a freelance illustrator based in the UK, who graduated in 2010 with a BA Hons in Graphic Design and Illustration.

My style incorporates my love of pattern, worldwide culture and nature with a modern twist. Being brought up surrounded by Indian culture, fabrics, Indian artwork and ornaments have heavily influenced my work. Also folklore tales and stories of Hindu Gods and Goddesses have been a rich source of inspiration in a number of my illustrations. My pieces are predominantly hand drawn with alterations made using Photoshop. Screen-printing is another method I enjoy working in and more recently I have begun experimenting with wood carvings and etchings.
