ARTWORKS BY PIP HOPE
01 my art
I create my artworks from whatever I have to hand.
Wool, pastels, oils and charcoal, these are my media of choice.

03 about me
I live and work in the beautiful Elham Valley in Kent.
In the 1980’s, I spent 4 idyllic years studying Illustration and graphic design at Medway College of Design, Rochester. I went on to have a successful career as a graphic designer.
More recently, I co-founded and now share the running of a business selling Native Wildflower Seed for bees and butterflies with my partner Edward.
Escaping the commercial world of graphic design has allowed me to re-visit the art that was my passion in my art college days.
This reconnection began recently, creating Linocuts, progressing to more experimental media, silk painting and wool-felting before returning to the familiar media of charcoal, oils and soft pastels. Who knows what is next?
Adding a garden studio to our home has allowed my creativity to blossom without their house smelling of Turpentine and sheep wool.
I am predominantly inspired by nature in my art, my love of the local countryside can be seen throughout my artwork.
UPDATE
A piece of my work, Curious Alma, was chosen to be exhibited in the
Royal Academy of Art Summer Exhibition 2025.
I am delighted and thank all those who encouraged me to apply,
especially Teresa who commissioned the piece.
