Jean-Michel Basquiat Teller

I live on the North Cotswold border in Worcestershire. Going for walks, wild swimming and gardening all inspire and help my work process.

After achieving a First Class Honors degree in Printed Textiles (2002), I became a Homeware Designer in London. Going freelance in 2012 has enabled me to work on illustration projects, collaborating with exciting companies and clients.

My motivation is the creative journey. My interest in creating original paintings and design lies in being present with my thoughts and emotions while creating and how that informs the relationship with my audience.

Bringing connection and emotional understanding on a deeper level is important because I want people to know they aren’t alone. We all go through challenging times and feeling connected through art is both inspiring and comforting in a deep and beautiful way.
