There’s no greater feeling than looking at a blank canvas and knowing by the end of the day, it will have transformed into something extraordinary."
Not all art is created equally, but ours very much is. We, Roz and Abi, both work on each painting and illustration we produce, moving from piece to piece on multiple canvases simultaneously. As best friends and artists, we play to each other’s strengths:Abi’s superpower for drawing and composition and Roz’s love of colour, pattern, and mark-making. It’s a relationship based on trust, a lot of fun, and a shared belief that art should - and can - be for everyone.
In our studio, there’s no space to take ourselves too seriously. The happy energy that emanates from us as we work is reflected in our paintings' bold patterns and bright colours, drawing inspiration from the things we love, especially flowers and animals. We create this way to put smiles on people’s faces, knowing that if we love something, others will too, and this is what keeps us going.
We’re both trained artists and met in New York while working for a textile design studio. Roz confessed she didn’t like drawing, and Abi replied she didn’t enjoy colouring in, so the perfect team was born. After returning to the UK, Tipperleyhill became our way to continue our friendship while exploring the one thing we both genuinely love: painting.
We know that the art world can sometimes be a tad stuffy, and for many people, buying original artwork can feel out of reach. Through our positive and inclusive approach to creating art and illustrations and extending our knowledge and enthusiasm for painting to as many people as possible through our workshops and courses, we’re living our belief that art is for all.
