Gabrielle Solly Illustration

Greeting cards, stationery and art 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, inks, watercolour paints and crayons. Each design is hand drawn on art papers. 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 have been creating a cottage garden that attracts butterflies, bees and a variety of birds.

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