Saskia Pomeroy graduated from Glasgow School of art in 2007. Since then she has worked as a visual artist and illustrator for clients such as FOLK clothing label and Sketch, Mayfair.
Saskia has also worked as a print technician and commercial screen printer at K2 screen for clients such as Peter Saville and Brian Eno. Currently working as freelance print designer and screen printer.
Saskia works in a variety of mediums such as print, drawing, and textiles. Her style has a strong focus on the use of colour and directionality through shapes. Saskia's time as a screen printer has directly informed this type of abstract print work.
This is also true of her drawing work although more illustrative, is often an abstraction of real forms and themes such as nature and ancient art, glyphs and symbols.
