Eloise
Digital Artist & Librarian
I'm Eloise! I'm a freelance artist specialising in Digital Art & Stylized Illustration. My initial inspiration to draw came from being immersed in stories from graphic novels, anime, and video games. I've also been drawing digitally since I was young so I've become quite savvy with it! I've since explored all sorts of different artstyles and methods, but I always come back to the styles that inspired me to draw in the first place, and I want to support young artists in creating from their own inspiration in my Blank Page workshops! I'm also a Librarian at Stowmarket Library and will be supporting other awesome artists in these workshops! I'm happy to bounce back and help fuel any of your wonderfully creative ideas =) In my free time, as well as playing video games and reading (obviously), I enjoy fashion and am learning to crochet.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
