Meet the Artists
At Zieler, we have the pleasure of working with many talented artists. Here are a few of them who have helped make our products what they are.
Amy
Amy is a mixed media artist based in Brighton with a BA Honours in Art & Design. She works on large scale acrylic paintings as well as smaller scale watercolour pieces and illustrative drawings. Amy has a strong passion for creating murals which she has dotted around the world. Amy is inspired by Travel, Nature and Culture these themes come across strongly in her work with her use of bright colours and bold patterns.
Amy is a key brand Ambassador for Zieler with her work in not only helping to develop and test products, but to also demonstrate the use of products. She is the familiar face on many of Zieler’s ‘How to Guides’ and teaches budding artists a variety of techniques.
Samuel
Samuel is a Norfolk & Brighton based artist with a painting style that is truly unique, euphoric & mesmerising. Samuel's artwork is influenced by pop-art, art deco, psychedelia and dreamscape, this fusion of styles gives the artwork a contemporary feel yet simultaneously a sense of timelessness prevails. Samuel's paintings are vibrant stylised celebrations of the world using intense colour and psychedelic patterns to heighten the atmosphere. Large scale canvas panels enable the viewer to imagine walking into the scenes to leave reality behind.
Samuel’s expertise and experience has been vital to Zieler achieving its high standards for its paints, brushes and surfaces.
Natalie
Natalie is a self-taught artist – her passion for sketching and painting started from a very young age when she was wining local art competitions. Much of Natalie’s attention is now focussed on sketching in various forms. Her love for drawing pet portraits is proving to be hugely popular with her customers. A versatile artist, Natalie’s vast experience of oil painting has led her to experiment with acrylic and watercolour to wonderful effect. Natalie is always keen to test art supplies for Zieler and her extensive drawing experience, in particular, make her a valuable member of our team. You can learn more about Natalie’s work
Sue
Sue is a craft designer and hand lettering artist. Some of her work is commission-based, blogs and magazine articles, with some logo design and digital lettering. Sue has a real passion for colour, and how it can influence the mood and represent different meanings. She is interested in all aspects of design, from the simplicity of a single drawn line, to a complex three dimensional structure. Sue has worked with various aspects of hand lettering, from greeting card captioning, to more recently designing practice worksheets for brush lettering.
Sue is a brand ambassador for some well known art and craft products as well as Zieler. It gives her great enjoyment to be able to use, test and demonstrate products with several different varieties of pens, paper and materials. Sue is as passionate as we are about the process of thought, research, and care that goes into producing a single Zieler item.
