Hello! I'm Kaye Lister, an artist, illustrator and designer based in Australia, catering to individuals and businesses globally.
As a seasoned artist, illustrator, and graphic designer, I bring a unique touch to each project and evolved my passion into a successful business that seamlessly combines my love for nature, textiles, travel, and daily life events.
Apart from a brief interest in Archaeology as a child, I think I have always wanted to be an artist of some sort. I am fortunate enough to realize this ambition and have worked in the fields of textile design, fine art, commercial art, graphic design and art education.
Alongside my daily practice, I regularly work on personal projects, which allow me to experiment with new ideas and techniques. I look forward to these projects, and once immersed time slows down, which allows me to reflect and make sense of life’s face pace.
I like to work with traditional mediums including, graphite and coloured pencil, paint, paper and textiles. Equally, I enjoy the convenience of digital drawing and painting, using custom coloured pencil and paint brushes.
