Since graduating with a degree in Applied Arts, Katy Rose has worked as a freelance illustrator in her hometown, Ventnor, on the Isle of Wight. Katy is inspired by using memory and nostalgia to create her unique style of pen and ink drawings, using illustration as a form of storytelling. Recently, Katy has been working with Bestival and the Isle of Wight Festival creating bespoke venue artwork, while previously developing new RSPCA and WWF clothing lines for island eco-fashion brand Rapanui.

Katy’s work can currently be found in exhibitions around the Island, while she is busy creating a new series of work to feature in her Etsy Shop.
