Darcie Olley is an illustrator and print designer, based in the UK, and is known for her colourful, fun and playful prints, portraits and cards. She graduated from the Colchester School of Art in 2018, during which, her final collection was selected by fashion designer Sir Paul Smith as the winner of the Nicole Abbott Award. After working in the textiles industry for a year, in 2019 she decided to go it alone, starting her own small business.
Darcie’s work is full of joy, fun and cute-ness and is mostly inspired by her huge love for animals and nature. She uses a mixture of gouache, watercolour, acrylic, pencil and digital techniques to create vibrant and exciting outcomes.
