Ellie Pearce is a 23-year.old Fine Art graduate who now runs her own business and sells handmade tufted rugs. Her rugs are extremely unique as they portray parts of the human anatomy ‘as seen under the microscope’. For any scientists out there who have a passion for rugs, I think I found your hidden gem!

To give you a few examples, some rugs depict the intestinal wall, an ovarian cyst, an ovarian follicle and so much more !

Exploring the boundaries of different media, I transition from still photography to video art and illustration transforming each of my projects into a multi-layered investigation of memory and personal experiences, riddled with references of traditional and contemporary artists.

Since lockdown I find myself having a lot more time on my hands for my passions; one of those passions is art, specifically acrylic painting on stretched canvas. It provides a depth of colour and the ability to easily clean materials after use because of its water based properties.

We are LOVING artist and art-lover Camilla Ambler at the moment.

Camilla’s simple yet touching NHS series, created whilst in lockdown, shows the evolved ways we can ‘shake’, greet and touch each other in this COVID19 world. Camilla also does beautiful and seriously detailed animal drawings that look so realistic they could be a photo.
