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, Vogue online and her interiors have been shown in Marie Claire and Town & Country. Her other clients include, Burberry, Bulgari, Rolex and Selfridges.
Poppy has had collections with Fashion Illustration Gallery and SHOWstudio as well as having a solo exhibtion at PROUD Gallery and group exhibition at OXO Gallery. Her artworks are sold internationally in New York, Milan and Tokyo through London galleries.
Poppy is a lecturer at Central Saint Martins and has taught at Kingston, Westminster and London College of Fashion.
