About Melissa North
Melissa is a London based illustrator and screen printer creating vibrant artwork with a silk-screen print aesthetic.
Influenced by analogue processes, she collages together photographs and drawings to create illustrations that have a tactile quality. A lover of travel, she often creates work about the places she’s been (or would like to go to). Bringing her images to life with a narrative is an important part of her creative process and inspiration for this is found by researching local history, wildlife or looking to the architecture and urban details of a location.
Melissa’s bold colour palettes are inspired by combinations that she has used in the print room and give her artworks a joyful feel. Her portfolio includes packaging for beer, chocolate and drinks, book covers and skateboard deck designs. She has just completed her biggest project to date, creating a bespoke series of corridor wall graphics for an entire ward at Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London.
