Phoebe Kirk is a surface pattern designer who uses fine art painting techniques to create bold and colourful works that focus on nature and botanicals. Her preferred mediums are gouache and watercolours which lend her work a highly personal and painterly feel that gives her patterns a timeless quality.

Phoebe lives in the Sussex countryside and takes inspiration from her garden and the stunning views around the Downs where she lives. She studied Illustration in Brighton and worked for various clients on branding and editorial commissions. Recently Phoebe has pursued surface pattern design as it allows her to really flex her creativity and skillset.

In addition to her pattern design Phoebe is the illustrator and co-founder of Truth & Tails Children’s books which are being adapted for the stage by Chichester Festival Youth Theatre
