Tulips and Heather is the collective of Freya Elise Kemp and Maya Chessman, who co-run Tulips and Heather Shop, where they both make illustrated products, sometimes collaborative, and have their own individual illustration practices. Both are inspired by similar themes and are open to working on individual projects and collaborative ones.
Freya Elise Kemp
I'm an Illustrator and paper cut artist & my main inspirations come from fairytale and folk art paper cuts. Paper cutting is meditative, slow and intricate & I love combining this with my narrative poetry to create sensitive art for sensitive souls.
Maya Chessman
I’m an illustrator making detailed, sensitive and story-led work, often inspired by nature and folklore. I hand-draw line-work with pencils and use ink layers to colour and my main inspirations come from plants, animals, water, medieval manuscripts and tapestries, dreams and stories.
