Hey there, I'm Di Brookes, a talented artist hailing from Hampshire, England, now based in picturesque Leicestershire with my wonderful family. My art style is a delightful mix of decorative, feminine, and realistic elements, blending traditional watercolor techniques with digital magic from Photoshop and Procreate. I find my creative muse in the beauty of nature, especially birds, flowers, and landscapes, which often grace the pages of my charming greeting cards and realistic non-fiction book illustrations.

One of my proudest achievements is crafting a series of enchanting Non-Fiction Mini books for Usborne Books, inviting children to explore the wonders of nature through my lifelike depictions of birds, animals, plants, and flowers. Clients appreciate my reliability, quick turnaround, and versatile style that effortlessly transitions between digital and traditional mediums. With a degree in Surface Pattern Design, I infuse my designs with intricate patterns, textures, and even touches of gold foil, creating greeting cards that exude a timeless elegance with a dash of femininity.

When I'm not immersed in creating art, you'll find me strolling through lush gardens, soaking up the seaside serenity, or observing the playful dance of birds in my garden. Drawing inspiration from floral fabrics and patterns, I infuse my work with a touch of whimsy and beauty. Balancing work and family life with my two lovely children, I aspire to leave a legacy of stunning artworks and heartfelt books, all while maintaining my friendly demeanor that defines both my art and personality.
