About

 

Wild Soul Sketchbooks is the creation of UK artist and designer Zoe Howarth. Raised in Cornwall from a young age the wild seascapes of the natural world have always influenced her work. The idea of flow, of texture, the rough and the smooth, the calm and the chaotic.

Her work was born from a joy of working with oracles cards under the name Sacred Wild Soul, this practise lead to an inner connection with the emotional landscape, entwined with the natural world. Zoe has developed her unique signature style of Mandala Orb paintings which bridge the gap between the seen and unseen, the real and surreal.

Working with both a love of colour and a deep sense of calm created through detailed line drawings, Zoe combines creative techniques in interesting ways that form the basis of her creative practise.

Having studied art and design at London college of fashion and then Textile Design at Falmouth University, Zoe use her artwork to design stationary, fabrics and apparel along side her original artworks.

She spends her time out walking through the woods or along the coast with her young son whom she home educates. She also loves to run her YouTube channel along side her design work, creating weekly videos of the behind the scenes of her creative practise.

After dedicating 2024 to a year of making art everyday and focusing on content creation on YouTube, Zoe's confidence and momentum in her creative work has grown. She is currently working on a new project 'The wild unseen' where she combines her love of mixed media with collage and textile design, through fabric design and apparel.
