Hello, I'm Estelle Corke, a watercolour artist from Lincolnshire and now rooted in Wiltshire. My vibrant style dances between loose, splashy strokes and precise details, tailored to each project's needs. Infusing emotion into my art, I draw inspiration from the cherished memories of my daughter's and my own childhood, crafting illustrations that speak to the heart. Teaching watercolour classes for relaxation, I aim to offer a therapeutic escape, sharing my expertise and fostering confidence in budding artists.

With accolades like the Silver Moonbeam Award in 2015 and a recent Bronze at the Living Now Awards 2023, my artistic journey has been a colorful tapestry of collaborations and projects. From whimsical non-fiction books about lobsters to playful illustrations, I thrive on creative freedom and client satisfaction. Armed with a degree in Graphic Design, I specialize in watercolour and gouache, infusing humor and quirkiness into my work. Guided by pencil sketches and digital finesse, I bring characters to life, captivating viewers with emotional depth and visual storytelling.

Rooted in childhood influences like Raymond Biggs and Beatrix Potter, my artistry blossoms from a love of storytelling and nature's beauty. Drawing inspiration from online art communities, galleries, and the serenity of the outdoors, I infuse my illustrations with the play of light and shadow. Beyond the canvas, my Sundays are a mix of gardening, DIY projects, outings, and the occasional Netflix binge. Ultimately, I aspire to leave a legacy of inspiring young imaginations through my illustrations, with my daughter Lucy and my soppy dog Poppy serving as the cherished muses woven into my art.
