Ella Johnston Art & Illustration

Birds, blooms and botanicals all illustrated by me, with love.

Hi I’m Ella Johnston, an artist based in the East Anglian countryside. I launched my art and illustration brand in 2012 but in reality I have been drawing everyday since I could hold a pen – it’s so much more than a business for me, it’s who I am.

All my products start with a simple sketch which is then lovingly worked up into a final artwork. It is then printed in my little Essex studio on my fine art giclée printer into final art print or by a trusted Northumbria print company into limited edition luxury stationery.

Every product reflects my passion for drawing and my love of wildlife, botanicals and handmade artisan crafts. My design philosophy is one of simplicity, harmony and elegance, using clean, uncluttered composition. My drawings are inspired by folk art, Scandinavian motifs, classic botanical and avian illustrative prints of the 19th Century.

My collections have been showcased in many publications including Elle Decoration, Stylist's Emerald Street, Homemaker and Ideal Home.
