Series Spotlight - The Mindfulness Collection by Chloe Watts

Chloe Watts is an illustrator and designer whose works frequently focuses on the self, exploring the body as a peaceful or harmonious form amidst a chaotic environment. She works with a wide variety of media to express herself, meaning her works are frequently personal, the process of communicating and creating as a way to process her own thoughts and feelings. As an outspoken advocate for mental health and wellness, Watts’ art is the perfect place to start when moving towards mindfulness.

This conscientious collection uses bold colours and harsh shapes to create figures that place an emphasis on form and curvature, contorted and posed, they are naturally unnatural. The kitschy cutouts and colourful whimsy create plenty of interest and the sketchy and eclectic feel has a carefree nature that prevents these images from becoming overworked or busy; this versatile art can be used both as a point of focus to quieten a busy brain as well as to create a calming space for more a mindful environment.

Congratulations to Chloe for she has recently achieved her Master’s Degree at the Royal College of Art, a superb accolade to her talent!
