Tess Stone is a freelance illustrator and fine artist based in London, UK. She has been illustrating for publishers, design consultancies and manufactures for twenty years. Her decorative and culture influenced art work has appeared on wine labels, book jackets, consumer goods, packaging, coffee mugs, cookery publications, magazines and greeting cards.
Her travels throughout Europe, India, Africa, and Turkey have been the main source of inspiration, as seen in many of her vibrant and richly textured examples of work
She is fascinated by food, not only the finished presentations but the specific ingredients, and the way in which they vary from one culture to the next. Her exposure to the cuisines of the country including the fruits and vegetables and various cooking styles, provides her with an appreciation for the heritage of the culture. It is from that heritage that she draws her inspiration.
Tesss working techniques include collage, watercolor, pen and ink, and hand lettering. Her work is suitable for dinnerware/place mats, posters, licensing, and private commissions.
