Hi, I’m Priscilla and I am a Surface pattern designer, Freelance illustrator, Biologist and Teacher. I am the owner of Cardwell and ink, a boutique design studio in Australia. About 6 years ago , I transitioned from being a traditional artist to a predominantly digital artist with my ipad pro and apple pencil being my tools of choice and I have never looked back. The versatility that using a digital medium affords has taken my creativity in painting, fashion illustration and textile design to new levels and I am so excited to share the things I have learned along the way.
I love teaching and breaking down concepts in easily understandable ways. You can see examples of my work on my website ( cardwellandink.com) and my prints on fabric and homewares at Spoonflower. I’m quite active on social media and you can find me on Instagram and fb @cardwellandink where I post about my creative journey.
