Hello! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Andrea Turk and I am an Illustrator and Surface Print Designer.
I was born in leprechaun country, Northern Ireland, where I gained a BA (Hons) in Fashion and Textiles, a NISBI, and a Diploma of Industrial Studies. After graduating, I lived 12 amazing years in London employed by various Childrens companies. I designed, directed art and managed designers. Working to tight deadlines was the industry norm and I am comfortable in high-pressure situations. I travelled all over the world designing, working with factories, and researching trends. I particularly love the shops in London, Paris, Barcelona and Tokyo.
I then spent a further 16 wonderful years with my own creative agency designing surface patterns and prints for the Childrens market. My artwork has sold to American Greetings, Paperchase, Hallmark, Papyrus, Pet Smart, Old Navy, Carters, Jo-Ann Stores, Hobby Lobby, Disney and Warner Bros. to name but a few. My career to date has seen me working comfortably across a variety of projects and time zones.
I currently reside back in Northern Ireland and work from my wee studio in the garden, where I paint, craft, sew and daydream. I share my hopes and aspirations with my husband, three dogs and a cat. My favourite colour is green.
I work traditionally in watercolour, gouache, colouring pencil, hand painted collage, acrylic inks and finish the work digitally. I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
I would love to hear from you if you have any exciting projects that I would be suitable for.
