Artist Bio

work in progress bespoke pen and ink illustration of some ravens by Pia Elliot

Pia is a contemporary pen and ink artist based on the stunning Dorset coast. Nestled in her home studio amidst flourishing wildlife, she finds endless inspiration. Her deep rooted love for nature developed through explorations of the local countryside, fostering a profound appreciation for the spirit of wildlife. As a devoted animal lover, Pia finds great joy in capturing the essence of her subject. Each piece is a labour of love, meticulously crafted to evoke connection and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.

She first picked up fine ink pens during a period of anxiety in her teens, finding solace in creating mindful doodles inspired by pattern and local fauna. These early sketches laid the foundation for her continued artistic development, which she has been refining for over ten years. Today, these works are exhibited in galleries across the UK, with recent solo show Wild Lines showcasing the diversity of her portfolio. Pia also takes pride in creating bespoke commission work and hosting mindfulness workshops, drawing on her first class BA (Hons) in textiles to explore diverse creative opportunities.
