Hi! I’m Tessa. I’m an illustrator, painter, graphic designer, and all-round lover of everything artistic and beautiful.

 

I was born in Cape Town, spent my early childhood in Namibia, did the rest of my growing up in the village of Irene, and now live in the vibrant city of Joburg. My wanderlust and love of romance have taken me all over the world, and I’ve lived in the United Kingdom and the USA. It’s no surprise that I’m inspired by travel, adventure, and beautiful places! In my free time, you’ll find me drinking rooibos tea and dreaming of mountains in the snow, painting, or planning my next adventure.

 

I love creating pretty things, especially when they're for people’s happiest moments. So I specialise in event stationery like wedding invitations and Save the Dates, bespoke birthday invites, and personalised labels for gifts or schoolbooks. I’ll also take on commissions for pencil or watercolour artworks, vector illustrations, or other custom projects.

I hope you enjoy the artworks I’ve created, and if you find any of them inspiring, please send me an email, and I would be happy to chat about your requirements.
