Included V22 View Tube artists:

Yvona Nov

East London based illustrator and graphic designer. Her drawings of animals are very much result of self-meditation. By entangling elements of plants, psychedelic lines and spirals she reveals her appreciation and love for nature and wildlife. Most of Yvona’s intricate drawings are done used black pen and ink, however very often she reaches for mix media – from gouache, watercolours and pencils to digital to create creatures submerged in colour. More info on Yvona’s website.

Vicky Myatt

MARLENE, her latest collection, is a place where the essence of masculine and feminine exist in harmony to create an beautiful collection of sensual tools and functional art objects. Each piece is produced in special thick-cast marbled porcelain, known for its beauty and strength and presented in minimalist handcrafted leather packaging. MARLENE carries a strong visual and sensory narrative that resonates with the ideal of life and art as one.

Tara Enyia

Fashion and Botanical Artist Tara Enyia’s illustrations have been described as ‘elegant and well polished’. The London born London College of Fashion graduate’s combination of traditional drawing techniques and modern aesthetic culminate towards her cohesive and contemporary artistic outlook. Tara creates collectable and commissionable works for both private and commercial clients. Here work can be seen in numerous publications including Marie Clare Magazine, HisKind and Pigeons and Peacocks. More info on Tara’s website.
