I live in Stradbroke, Suffolk, where I have the pleasure of working from a beautiful, little room overlooking my pretty garden. I love long walks, pottering about in my garden, chatting to my cat and...red wine...sigh!
My home is a very happy place. I fill my days with working on custom portraits (www.hannahweeks.co.uk) and developing new products for my print shop Sandpaper Kisses. My cat, Bessy is always nearby, and keeps me company while the man in my life, Tom is busy working away downstairs (he also works form home!).
Following a three year degree in Lingerie Design at De Montfort University, I became a Lingerie Designer for a supplier to Marks and Spencer and Boux Avenue.
At the close of 2012, after almost four years of invaluable experience, I decided that this immensely challenging role wasn’t for me long term. I longed to get back to basics, and realised all I wanted to do was draw. Something I have always loved, ever-since spending endless hours as a child wrapped up in a drawing of some sort or another. I seem to remember my grandparents had to buy an endless supply of extra pink-coloured, felt-tip pens – it was my colour of choice! So, in January 2013 I made the leap, and I became self employed as a Freelance Illustrator, pursuing my lifelong passion for drawing. I can honestly say, I have never looked back.
