Lucy Rose is a Devon-based illustrator that graduated from Falmouth University in 2015 with a BA Hons in Illustration. She is inspired by vintage prints, art-deco posters and textile pattern, influencing her choice of muted/vintage colors and often pattern-like compositions. Lucy has also always loved the print process, and this is reflected in her work with organic textures and graphic layering. Living in Devon, England, she takes huge inspiration from the countryside and sea that is on her doorstep.
