Doodle Trees and Happy Bees Create Playful Art

Since graduating in Textile and Surface Design, Kim Anderson has created an extensive portfolio of artwork for a variety of  greeting cards, gift wrap, cross-stitch kits and wall art in the U.K., Europe and the United States.

Kim gets inspiration from the colors and textures in everyday life. Her greeting card ranges have been in the prestigious finals of the Henries Awards, the highest accolade for design talent within the U.K. card industry. She is recognized for her use of paint, pen, ink and paper collage work, which have contributed to some beautiful ranges. Sometimes just taking a stroll around her colorful and cultural hometown can provide the spark that is enough to start the creative process.

Her commercial success has naturally followed her inspirational artwork and led to several collaborations with high-profile companies such as wall art for Oopsy Daisy and The Art Group, home decor with Jacqui Joseph Designs and top-selling cross-stitch kits from Bothy Threads.

Kim lives and works from her home in the U.K., in the creative city of Brighton with her son and their two cats.
