Hello! Here’s a little bit about me…
I'm Caitlin Newlove, an illustrator who loves to curate compellingly cute narrative scenes filled with hues of pinks and bold colors. I graduated from Arts University Bournemouth in 2024 and have an extensive background in the arts, specializing in creating dream-like concept art with a whimsical touch.
Inspired by nature, childhood nostalgia, and fantasy, my work invites viewers into a playful and imaginative world. Whether working with traditional mediums like watercolor and pencils, or digital tools like Procreate, I bring my stories to life with a unique blend of techniques. I am heavily inspired by the work of Chris Hong and the many concept artists at Disney as they showcase expressive character and fantasy.
