Liz and Kate Pope have loved to doodle and mess with anything arty from a young age. Both went from Chesterfield Art College to Staffordshire University. Since then they've continued to develop individual strengths. Liz is most happy simply sketching with her pencil, developing line drawings into more elaborate art pieces. Kate enjoys combining color and pattern, layering and creating decorative surfaces. Over the years, they have illustrated many gift cards, art prints, and children's books together. They never set out to work together but found that their styles go together perfectly, creating something very quirky and unique!
