Bio

Saskia Pomeroy graduated from Glasgow School of art in 2007. Saskia Pomeroy lives and works in London as a visual artist and freelance illustrator, working for clients such as FOLK clothing, Sketch Mayfair, H&M and Topman. Saskia has also worked as a commercial screen printer at established print house K2 screen. Clients include Peter Saville and Brian Eno.

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.
