Hello, I am Elena O'Neill and I am the designer/maker/owner of Elena Illustration.
I am 28 years old and live in the south of England with my partner Dave, our daughter and our many pets.
I am passionate about watercolour and pattern design, everything in my shop is designed and painted by me.
My Story:
While studying for my degree in Illustration at Plymouth College Of art, I discovered my love for watercolours and soon became obsessed with it! The freedom and unexpected texture of the paint is so exhilarating and I love that element of fear, as once you've made a mistake theres no going back.
Shortly after, I began to sell my work online on products on Society6. There is nothing like the satisfaction of seeing your work on a finished product and I wanted to be more involved with the process. This is when my Etsy shop was born.
I learned to sew with the help of my Grandma and I quickly filled my shop with pencil cases and other products.
It gives me so much pleasure to see a new pattern come to life in a product I have made and even more so to think that my work can bring happiness to people every day across the globe.
Thank you so much for your interest in my work!
