I'm very excited to showcase Eloise Renouf. I came across Eloise Renoufs' work in Uppercase magazine and instantly fell in love with her work. What the lady can do with marks is almost criminal! She is most certainly on my list of designers who inspire and give me the permission to go free and create.....
Eloise is a textile designer and stationary designer living in Nottingham, England. She has designed prints for both London and New York studios.
All my work begins life as hand-drawn, painted or printed elements which then develop into collages, paintings or digitally manipulated pieces. My favourite materials are dip pen and ink, gouache and acrylic paint, and paper and I never tire of the endless possibilities these afford. Initially I tend to work intuitively with shape and form, building areas of pattern or creating decorative shapes which can then be combined and arranged to create a full image.
My subject matter tends to be drawn from the natural world; so stylised flowers, trees, leaves and clouds are recurring themes in my pieces. These tend to be simplified, modernised and reduced to the most basic elements, which are then re-enhanced with colour, pattern and texture. I also like to work with abstract shapes and forms, but again these are often organic in nature.

If you love Eloise's design's as much as I do you can buy her prints at her Etsy shop : http://www.etsy.com/shop/EloiseRenouf?page=1
