Ambassador
Octavia Bromell is an illustrator with one goal: to find the joy in everyday life.
I started drawing as therapy... it brings me joy every day, which I guess is why it’s so important to me to share that with people where possible!
Octavia Bromell
Octavia began drawing after coming home with clinical depression and severe anxiety in 2017. After hardly picking up a paintbrush since having left school, she quickly transitioned from ‘cheap’ paint palettes to specialist materials, and now works from her own studio in a shepherd’s hut in Dorset.
Octavia combines analogue and digital painting to create vibrant illustrations of the inspirational people and beautiful plants of her dreams. She loves using bright colours, and playing with texture, to make striking work in her very own style. She also creates a lot of work on the topic of mental health, and self esteem, drawing on her own experiences to try and understand what it means to be a human in 2020.
