Textile Design Elissa Stevens. Illustration of a park scene screen-printed onto fabric in blue. Capturing children playing, a picnic scene, man reading on a bench and animals chasing each other.

As we spend more time in one space, bringing the stresses of work into our homes and environments. My complex and illustrative homeware and interior designs offer the opportunity of escapism into country life. Inspired by my childhood and my own places of reverie, I have created these designs in the hope to offer the same peace and wandering that I feel when I visit and think about these spaces.

Going Places uses a combination of hand-drawn tiles in half drop repeat, which has been carefully screen printed onto fabrics, using various dyes and materials to create different effects. The playful scenes provide lots to see, capturing the liveliness of everyday life.

Nocturnal Musings comprises hand-drawn and painted motifs along with lino prints that have all been collated digitally for a contemporary feel, using bold and abstract colours to create energetic designs that draw the eye into all the hidden details.
