About ella-artwork

Hi, I'm Manuela, the watercolor artist and surface pattern designer behind ella-artwork. I'm based in Lucerne, Switzerland.

I paint everything by hand in traditional watercolor on paper, then digitise my artwork in Photoshop and turn it into illustrations and seamless repeat patterns. My work ranges from botanical florals and coastal motifs to playful everyday subjects.
