About me...

I’m Verity, a freelance illustrator based half the time in Warwickshire and half the time in Somerset. Much of my inspiration comes from the natural world, and when I’m not painting I can often be found out and about exploring. I’m committed to sustainability and I’ve helped set up a community woodland and a care farm in my local area. I’m also a qualified yoga teacher.

I’ve been lucky enough to work for many of the causes I care about, including environmental education and organic growing, as well as community festivals and events.

 

Clients include:

Garden Organic; Practical Action; Food for Life Project (FFLP); Leamington Peace Festival; Small Is Beautiful Festival; Foundry Wood; Canalside Community Foods; Transition Leamington; Warwickshire LEADER programme; the Master Gardener programme; “Grow Your Own” magazine; “How To” Books; Moss Green Children’s Books; the Darwin Ensemble Chamber Orchestra and - at the other end of the musical spectrum - hip-hop artist Jimmy Davis & the Barefoot Apostles.

 

Testimonials:

“We are delighted with the fantastic drawings from Verity. Love the colour and style!”

"We are so pleased with Verity's beautiful, bespoke illustrations for our literature and signage at Foundry Wood. Her attention to detail and use of colour have a personal and naturalistic touch which was exactly what we were looking for."

Kristie Naimo, Chair of Friends of Foundry Wood

"We absolutely love the artwork that Verity has produced for DECO.   Our website redesign was based around her illustration of the orchestra in action, and we have commissioned her to produce illustrations for the "meet the instruments" articles in our concert programmes.  Verity's artwork really captures our humorous take on the instruments, and has attracted many complimentary comments praising its sharp yet gentle wit. We are delighted to be working with such a talent."

Alex Laing, Artistic Director, Darwin Ensemble Chamber Orchestra
