Poppy Waddilove
Using oil paint, inks or watercolours Poppy is inspired by dream-like emotion and colour, capturing the line and gestures of what she observes, and creating spontaneity of movement. She is drawn to the confidence and simplicity of a line with added pops of colour and aims to create a timeless but modern elegance in her approach to fashion, portraits and interiors.
Her fashion and portrait work has featured in Tatler, Grazia and Vogue online and her interiors have been shown in Marie Claire and Town & Country. She has had collections with Fashion Illustration Gallery and SHOWstudio and shows at PROUD Gallery and OXO Gallery. She has collections of artwork selling in London galleries and on luxury interiors sites as well as internationally in New York, Milan and Tokyo.
Poppy is a visiting lecturer at Central Saint Martins as well as Kingston and Westminster Universities and The London College of Fashion.
