About Me.
Hi, Welcome to Cordelia's Cauldron! I'm an illustrator based between Yorkshire and Nottingham in the UK. I am a student in the Nottingham Trent school of art, about to graduate in summer 2024.
I specialise in spooky and whimsical artwork, yet cater to a variety of needs, having created book illustrations, packaging designs, and concept artwork.
I’ve been selling my artwork for over 4 years now, on my own shop and have developed a unique style that blends the various mediums I use with a touch of magic.
