Mary Kilvert: about the artist


	Mary grew up in the medieval village of Weobley, in the English countryside. The house where she lived in was six hundred years old. Her parents ran a painting school from this old and atmospheric house, so she was always surrounded by creativity. Mary graduated with a degree in Illustration from Kingston University in 2004. During the course she found her love of pattern and decorative work. She loves drawing places, animals and people and is inspired by stories, folktales and fairytales. She finds travelling a rich source of inspiration having recently completed a trip to the Far East, where she collected materials and decorative patterns for her work. Mary works from her studio in London, which she also shares with her black cat. She creates her images with fine line pens, watercolor, collage and digital color. www.marykilvert.com
