Tabby Booth

Illustration shaped by folklore, interiors and life by the sea.

Quickly becoming known for her signature silhouette, Tabby Booth’s work treads a captivating parallel between illustration and traditional folk art painting. With a passion for interiors, each piece is designed with this in mind, threaded with themes of beasts, folklore and the sea.

Tabby studied illustration at Central St Martins and went on to found Cygnets Art School and Sailors Jail Gallery with her artist husband James Heslip. They live in Cornwall in the pink house at the top of the hill by the sea, with their children Rudy and Ziggy.
