ABOUT THE

ARTIST


Morvern is a multi-award winning illustrator, printmaker, and storyteller who lives and works in Scotland. Her playful and insightful designs delve into the themes of human connection and storytelling. Her work promotes the use of traditional printmaking techniques and is greatly influenced by folklore and mythology from her shared Scottish and Scandinavian heritage. 

Shortly after graduating with a First Class Honours from DJCAD, Morvern self-published her original book The Huldufólk which was shortlisted for the Macmillan Illustration Award and named one of the AOI's 10 graduates to watch. In 2023, Morvern exhibited her first solo exhibition, Leith Folk & Lore, was an artist in residence with Out of the Blue Drill Hall and Sail Britain, and worked with clients such as the V&A Dundee and acclaimed literary magazine Extra Teeth.
