Ella Hearsey is an illustrator who is fascinated by realism. Working primarily with oil pastels, Ella’s artwork is largely inspired by the concept of nostalgia. The intention behind her work is to create drawings which are fun and playful. She hopes to connect with the viewer through her use of bright colours and familiar imagery. Ella uses drawing as a way to analyse items which she considers to be visually interesting. Frequently drawing from observation, she hopes to create interesting compositions which emphasise an item’s appealing characteristics. Through her realism drawings, Ella hopes to advance an item’s meaning and enhance its appeal.
