I am a London based fine artist and illustrator. A graduate from The Royal College of Art, I regularly undertake commissions and am available for any illustration projects, exhibitions and pet portraits.

 

“If you’ve ever loved books then these are the art works for you. Atherton creates worlds, highly patterned and distinctive, as exotic as a child’s imagination, and as a tenaciously memorable as her mystical and lovingly rendered cartographies. These pieces take you back to a time when you didn’t just read books, but lived in them, and could not leave behind the worlds in them simply by closing the cover. If you like Wes Anderson you’ll love these” - New Blood Art

“I long for a place that I cannot reach. I draw inspiration from nature, animals and wilderness. Journeys and maps.
Secret worlds.”
