About Cherith Harrison

Hello, thanks for stopping by!

Cherith Harrison Artist Profile PictureI’m Cherith, a coffee-loving illustrator and surface pattern designer with a penchant for flowers, animals and brightly coloured things and a weakness for chocolate buttons, cheese and wine.

Working from home in the Scottish Borders, I draw inspiration from the stunning wildlife, farms and beautiful countryside surrounding me to create artistic and distinctive designs that are in turn, brought to life on beautifully made homewares and gifts.

When I was seven years old, I rescued an injured wild baby rabbit, and ever since, I have been fascinated by the animals and wildlife around us. I love observing animals, watching how they interact with others and studying their appearances and human-like tendencies and characteristics.

Unique Gift Ideas for Every Occasion

All of my designs begin with a single pencil drawing on a plain piece of paper. I start by looking for patterns within the subject matter that I exaggerate through scale and colour to help give the overall image a sense of character, beauty and vibrancy. I enjoy working in multiple mediums such as watercolour, pencil, pen and ink, Procreate, felt tips and pastels – tapping into different artistic styles such as realism and playful whimsy.

In capturing the tranquillity of nature and wildlife in my products, I like to imagine my customers can enjoy having a little piece of the countryside wherever they go.
