Clare Owen illustrates for Genova Private Management
It’s harvest season and we’re embracing the transition to autumn with this beautifully illustrated scene by Clare Owen. Commissioned by Genova Private Management, Clare was tasked with creating a commercial orchard bustling with employees and visitors, incorporating vignettes which could be pulled from the main illustration to be used on their own. While this was no small task, Clare doesn’t shy away from a challenge! Approaching the assignment as a sort of puzzle, a series of individual pieces that she would find a way to fit together seamlessly.

Learn a little about how illustrator Sabina Fenn lets light and creativity into her ever-expanding home studio. From plants and fresh air to vision boards and art supplies, there’s no shortage of inspiration.
What is a must-have for your work space?
Sunlight! I chose the room in the house that had the best sunlight, I think it energizes me and helps me focus. Also, lots of colour, I like to collect little things that inspire me, like wonky frames, or samples from projects I've done in the past, artworks from other artists, little notes and such that I put on a cork board, anything that makes me feel good.
