Hello there! I'm Priya, the face behind Anthea Designs.
I am an illustrator and pattern designer living in a small town in South India with my husband, two little girls, and six dogs.
Though I've always enjoyed painting, I was told that art could never be a reaI career. I ended up pursuing postgraduate degrees in English Literature and Journalism, only to circle back to art years later. A chance encounter with a surface pattern design class when I was on my maternity break, and there was no looking back!
I draw inspiration from my little garden and my extensive collection of gorgeous sarees.I enjoy working digitally and with colored pencils. My designs have a whimsical, cottagecore, sometimes retro vibe, and I have a special love for botanical themes.
