I'm Elena Essex, an illustrator based in Hove, UK. I love to create designs that make my heart beat a little bit faster and hopefully, yours too.
I’m a fan of colour and wildlife (you may have guessed this!) and as a mother of 4 lively children, I enjoy creating illustrations and patterns that are as beautiful (but maybe not as chaotic!), as my family life.
Growing up, and now as a family, we’ve always loved puzzles, and so in 2020, I decided to make the leap and start my own family-run puzzle business. I’ve been blown away by the love and support of our customers and the puzzling community who have helped make our first two puzzles a success and given me the courage to broaden our range. So this year I’m adding four more 1000 piece puzzles designs to our range and I can’t wait to share them with you all. Watch this space or follow my Instagram page for more exciting updates. And thank you for your continued support.
Aaron Hilson, born in 1995 in the historic city of Peterborough, England, has rapidly become one of Britain's most compelling contemporary artists despite his relatively young age. After honing his craft at Central Saint Martins in London, Hilson developed his distinctive style of blending traditional oil painting techniques with bold, almost architectural geometric elements, creating works that seem to pulse with an inner luminescence.
Known for his unorthodox approach to painting in complete darkness and only viewing his works under natural moonlight, Hilson creates pieces that challenge conventional perspectives on light and shadow. His breakthrough series "Nocturnal Geometries" caught the attention of the Tate Modern in 2019, making him one of the youngest artists to exhibit there, while his recent works exploring the intersection of English industrial heritage and modern urban landscapes have earned him critical acclaim across Europe and established him as a leading voice in contemporary British art.
