Hello! Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my website.
I’m Juliet Thomas, an Illustrator/Artist based in East London on the edge of the beautiful Epping Forest.
Originally from South Tyneside in the north east of England, I’ve loved making art since I was a tiny tot. I remember my class mates asking me to draw things for them when I was about five or six years old.
Encouraged by my parents I went on to study design and illustration at De Montfort university.
I’ve been working for over 25 years as an illustrator, I make greetings cards which I sell in independent shops across the UK & US and also create art which I sell as prints and original paintings.
I especially enjoy making work inspired by nature, and my children and it gives me great joy to add a few sprinkles of magic along the way.
I love walking around Epping Forest in my wellies, with my sketchbook and pencils, capturing the flora & fauna and imagining tiny elves and pixies who live secretly amongst the ferns and fungi.
I also love photography and work part time in journalism as a picture editor, covering global news, it often feels like we’re living in very dark times. Creating art is an excellent form of escapism for me.
The process of painting or drawing is very therapeutic I can get lost in my imagination when I’m working on a piece of art, it really is a wonderfully mindful, calming activity.
