Art Source PG helps to paint a pretty picture of freelance artists, designers, verse writers and photographers’ worlds in order to promote their talents to publishers and, conversely, make it easier for publishers seeking artists.
ARTIST IN FOCUS
Rebecca McCulloch I am an illustrator based in a beautiful studio in the countryside just outside the vibrant town of Frome in Somerset and I have been in the greeting card industry for over 20 years. After studying printed textiles at Winchester School of Art I was spotted at the New Designers show and joined the in-house studio at Gordon Fraser. The following year I joined Ling Design where I stayed for eight years, winning some Henries awards along the way, and being nominated twice for Young Designer. I spent two years at Portico and then joined the Dutch company Paperclip as its creative director, heading up the UK studio for eight
years. My last role with Ling Design was as its group creative director for the last five years, running three creative teams. I have vast experience in building successful seasonal and everyday card ranges and have spent many years involved in export and charity. I have now returned to illustration using my many years of experience to offer a really comprehensive service. As an illustrator that has been inhouse for so many years I have developed many design styles. I have a love for watercolour, but also create much of my painting digitally. I take my sketch book and camera everywhere for inspiration, and there is plenty of it. I am lucky to live near Longleat Safari Park and sketching the animals is such a joy and an amazing resource. Frome has a famous and inspiring independent artisan market and is a creative hub, so there is always something happening and there are many fantastic galleries in Bruton. When I am not in the studio you can find me in the garden, walking in the forests around my home with my children, or doing pilates. I managed to catch up with many of my clients at the Spring Fair, but if I missed you and you have a project to discuss, please do get in touch.
