Imagined Worlds & Storytelling

Hi, I’m Joanne, an illustrator based in Cornwall creating detailed, narrative-led artwork. I specialise in character, storytelling and building imaginative worlds for books, publishing and creative projects.

Selected Works

IndigoAlice

Since 2019, Indigo Alice has been the home of my independent work — a space to explore new ideas, develop narrative-led pieces and build evolving collections of prints and products.

A peek behind the scenes at what’s currently on the drawing board — sketches, characters and stories slowly coming to life.

Custom Commissions

Looking for something truly unique? I create bespoke illustrations for special gifts, personal projects and imaginative ideas.

The

Process

Sketches to Artwork

Most ideas begin as small sketches and thumbnails in my sketchbook. From there, drawings might stay in pencil or ink, or develop into digital artwork in Procreate — I love blending traditional and digital techniques.

Client Collaborations

Creative partnerships

I love working with creative partners, including Laura Likes, a bespoke Wedding Stationary Company in Cornwall where I illustrate wedding venues and maps!
