9 - Nadia Flower
Fragile, delicate, yet graphic and strong – these are the elements that define Nadia Flower’s quite beautiful illustration work. Combining hand-drawn and computer-based imagery, Nadia works happily across a variety of visual mediums, from fine art painting to fashion and textile, as well as pure illustration for the editorial and advertising markets. Based in New Zealand, Nadia has produced work for clients around the world. Nadia’s work has also appeared in group exhibitions and book publications in Australia ,Japan, and the US. Nadia’s illustrations are playful and sensual, residing in that area where dreams, fantasies and fashion collide.
I love how she combines drawing and painting into one image.
It’s beautiful..here are a few of her illustrations….
10 -Katharine Asher
“I have worked as a freelance within illustration and design for many years, specialising in figurative work. My early formal training at Harrow College of Art focused on strong traditional drawing skills, the ability to think in three dimensions and a thorough understanding of anatomy and movement. This has proved to be the backbone of my skill base, enabling me to attract work from a wide variety of commercial sources from publishing and advertising to film.
I continually evolve my style which keeps my focus fresh and my work in line with commercial trends.”
I love the use of Watercolour paint in these images…
