About me

Hi, nice to meet you!

I'm Heather, an artist and illustrator originally from Nottingham in the UK, who's made her home in sunny Valencia, Spain.

As a model making graduate, I'm well-schooled in all things 3D, but I also love drawing and pattern-making. This, along with my lifelong obsession with all things paper, has helped to shape my own unique style of illustration, a kind of low-relief paper sculpture which lies somewhere in the space between 2D and 3D.

I've illustrated a variety of projects to date, including books for children and adults, posters, flyers and greetings cards. I also have an Etsy store where I sell bespoke portraits as well as my own designs. I love working with passionate business owners and individuals who want to make the world a more exciting and beautiful place.

When I'm not busy snipping paper, you'll find me singing karaoke at the top of my lungs, running along Valencia's scenic river park or curled up with my nose in a good book.

If you are interested in working with me on an illustration project or commissioning a piece, you can get in touch with me directly at heather@bowley.me, or just send me a message via the contact form at the bottom of this page.
