Irene SilvinoMy name is Irene and I am an illustrator and surface pattern designer based in London. I was born and grew up in Livorno, Tuscany, among the seagulls, fishermen and food markets of this lively Italian seaside town. I started my career as a graphic deigner and I now work as a freelance illustrator and surface pattern designer. When I think about my style I think about curvy shapes, lively colours and a general jungly feeling - I love to draw people, plants, flowers and little animals! I live with my husband and my children in a nice and quiet suburb of London. Apart from drawing, I love cooking, reading, photography, walking and spending time in nature with my family.I am a member of the British Association of Illustrators (AOI), the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), and also the founder of Editartz (https: //editartz.com), an online creative community of illustrators from around the world that regularly share their personal editorial, children's and, recently, pattern design work based on monthly prompts.
