Gabrielle Solly Illustration

Collections of greeting cards, stationery and art prints inspired by the natural world and the romantic designs of the decorative arts.

I’m an illustrator and modern calligrapher and create all my work by hand using traditional methods, dip pens, Japanese reed pens, Indian inks, pencils, watercolour paints, metallic paints and crayons. I also use pure gold leaf in some of the bespoke work. I was very fortunate to have been taught illustration by Quentin Blake who encouraged my flowing style.

I work from a studio overlooking the North Downs in Kent. I endeavour to create beautiful and original pieces which people love to give and receive.

I’m proud to say my work is made in England.

I'm very proud to have been shortlisted for the prestigious Henries Awards, Best Spring Seasons’ Greeting Cards - Valentine’s Day 2023
