Author: Suzanne@WhimSicALLusH
Hi there, I am an artist and illustrator living in Dundee, Scotland.
I love the little things in life that often go un-noticed. You know.. the things that we walk past or not pay attention to because we are just all so busy! I like paying attention to those little things. They are the stuff in life that makes me smile.
I’m known as WhimSicAL LusH when it comes to my art work. WhimSicAL LusH is a curious and wonderful little world filled to the brim with adventures, toadstools, castles, creatures, secret, beautiful gardens and much much more...
I also create work for others. I enjoy commissioned pieces as they allow me to help others to tell their story too!
I really enjoy working with children and young people as well, their imagination is endless and I want to help to encourage their creativity and skills.
Sometimes I create special pieces for charities to help them fundraise. To date I’ve raised around £150,000.
You can follow my ink filled WhimSicAL LusH adventures on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and buy my art on Etsy.
Thanks for reading
