I am Sophie Jonas-Hill, a Falmouth University MA Illustration graduate (distinction). I am a visual and written communicator, published author and illustrator, creating highly skilled hand-drawn art inspired by folktale, myth and legend. My practice spans illustration, branding, and interior art, and I craft narrative visuals and assets for branding, wall art and contemporary spaces. As a tutor and wellness practitioner through art, I design online courses and workshops, and I create visual and video assets for educational and wellbeing contexts. I am known for innovative ideas and for thriving under pressure. My work has earned prizes such as the Kelvin Gardner Prize for Brand Design (Licence This! 2021), and I have been shortlisted for multiple art prizes in 2021 and 2025. I continue to develop creative curricula for education providers while publishing original work.
