Hello there!
I’m Monica Maestrelo, a UK-based artist, illustrator, and designer specialising in watercolour illustration for publishing, editorial, lifestyle, surface pattern design and licensing. My fresh hand-painted watercolours are a perfect match for wallpaper, textiles, stationery, accessories and home decor. As my favourite medium, I embrace the free and fluid nature of watercolour, but I also explore digital illustrations and patterns for a modern twist.
