Becki
Harper is an illustrator based in the historic city of York. Her work
often explores narratives strongly blended with curiosity and
nostalgia, and she draws much of her inspiration from nature and
science. Observational drawing is highly important to her creative
practice, as it's often the source of an idea, character, or
composition, and greatly informs the visual language within her work.
She favours traditional techniques such as watercolour painting,
which is the process typically used to add colour to her drawings.
This passion for creating things by hand has naturally led to
exploration into other media such as textiles and craft.
Becki
was born in 1987 and grew up in the North-Eastern town of
Middlesbrough, where she began studying art at CCAD. She went on to
complete a BA (Hons) in Illustration at UWE Bristol, in which she
achieved a First Class degree and numerous awards, including a Highly
Commended from the Macmillan Children's book prize. She continues to
pursue her arts practice from her studio in York, where she has
received commissions from local design studios and companies.
