Sophie Gartell
Sophie Gartell studied Fine Art at Camberwell followed by a degree in Illustration at Brighton, graduating in 2001. Since then Sophie has enjoyed a varied design career including card and gift-wrap design for clients such as Roger LaBorde and Woodmansterne and editorial commissions for The Saturday Telegraph Magazine and The Evening Standard.
Sophie has always liked opposites and imagery that slightly jars; she strives to find a comfortable balance between the beautiful and the macabre, the elegant and the off-putting.
Although her working methods are many and diverse, they are unified by the love of the contemporary and Sophie is conscious of maintaining a sense of the here and now throughout. She draws inspiration from picture-books, from botany and from children, and loves to blend pencil graphics with bold lines and typography using a controlled pastel palette with flashes of neon.
