I am an illustrator and portraitist based in Taunton. Having taught art at secondary and A level for 14 years I thought it was about time I followed my own dreams since I had been encouraging and inspiring so many to follow theirs.
Since I went freelance 2 years ago I have written and illustrated 2 children's books and been working on a graphic novel, as well as taking commissions and doing the convention circuit. My work varies from comic and manga illustration to traditional portraits and pet portraits to logo and graphic design. I will be holding my first solo exhibition at Roots cafe in Taunton in April.

Hello, my name is Larissa. I am a photographer ....  and mother, wife, cleaner, chef, organiser, planner, entertainer, reader of bed time stories, kisser of scuffed knees and an all-round creator of beautiful things.
I started Giggleicious Photography after the birth of my daughter 7 years ago when I discovered just how much I love capturing the vitality and joy in children and the love and warmth in a family. My love is producing the wonderful experience in my photo shoots where families and children can not just be themselves, but be the best of themselves. It is also to produce some lovely images for families to share and look back in years to come. It’s a moment in time.   

My background is in illustration and I studied at Norwich School of Art & Design a looooong time ago. The time and detail I would spend on my illustrations is put into every photograph I take and every image I show you.  I am based in Chepstow, Monmouthshire and am blessed to be amongst some of the most beautiful countryside and woodland in the UK.

Martha Ford is a Bristol-based illustrator, animator, a member of Drawn in Bristol( http://drawninbristol.co.uk ) and 1 of the seven ladies at the 'Upstairs at BS8' shop.
This illustrator takes a playful and explorative approach to her work and in addition to traditional painting and drawing skills; she enhances her images with handmade textures, hand drawn patterns and digital techniques.

She creates curious, colourful and weird little worlds that are often surreal and sometimes a little eerie; using her imagery to tell stories and evoke feelings of exploration and often, isolation.

With an interest in far too many things, she gets most of her inspiration from the natural world around her and years and years of reading as many books and stories as she could get her messy hands on.

visit Martha Ford's website for more the latest designs and updates. 

Im an illustrator and I love people and what they do. My ideas come from being a father of three mini-maniacs who encourage me and inspire me in equal measure and working part time in retail where I encounter a great range of faces and manners.

Holly grew up sometimes in Devon and sometimes on a boat being home schooled, nose firmly in a book while her father merrily sailed the family part way around the world!

On returning to the UK, she fell in love with textile art and all hobbies making.

After a brief spell in the commercial and corporate world she returned to full time making and started creating quirky little pictures as gifts for friends and family.

This hobby soon became the busy and chirpy business it is today. Holly, now based in Portishead, specializes in using free style machine embroidery and appliqué to create her contemporary and kooky pieces – gifts of pictures, bags, cushions, aprons, cards and bunting. Each piece is unique and made on a commission basis, is designed, made and framed by Holly…though her son has recently taken a paid role in the business, and is Post Office Boy….luckily he’s just 10 so the fee is mainly chocolate brownies....

I make a lot of imaginary 2D and 3D characters and landscapes for them to live within. My work is mainly based in drawing and making. I have recently also started making handmade jewellery using some found images as well as my own drawings. I have since September 2012 been a member of the lovely Blaze Studio & Shop on Colston Street.
