Scarlett is a Bristol-based illustrator working across traditional and digital media, including gouache, watercolour, pen, and pencil. Her editorial work is known for its thought-provoking, socially engaged focus, though she remains open to a range of creative collaborations. From 2022 to 2025, she studied Illustration (BA), refining both her technical skills and narrative voice.
Living with kidney disease since the age of 10 and starting dialysis at 15 has profoundly shaped Scarlett’s perspective—particularly around healthcare, resilience, and underrepresented voices. These experiences fuel her drive to create work that informs, challenges, and opens up honest conversations around difficult topics.
Scarlett believes in the power of illustration not just to communicate, but to connect—inviting viewers to reflect, empathize, and engage.
