Hi! I am Reshu. I am an illustrator and artist, working with mixed media techniques including watercolour, gouache and colour pencils. My art is shaped by my memories, experiences and my cultural and environmental upbringing. My illustrations are imbibed with a sense of energy. They are emotive and are deeply inspired by nature.
My work has been exhibited at House of Illustration, London, Internationaler Comic-Salon Erlangen, Germany and Barbican, London.
When not drawing, I can be found listening to music or weaving beads.
I am represented by Susan Penny at The Bright Agency for literary and illustration work worldwide, for enquires write to Susan.
For illustration enquires in India, write to me at reshus91@gmail.com
