Artwork

How do you create your illustrations?

Josie creates her work through a combination of traditional painting, pencil drawing and digital techniques such as Photoshop. Her aim is to create kaleidoscopic compositions in a romantic palette of vintage colours and textures. Watch Josie at work in her studio and read more about her process here.

How can I buy your artwork?

Josie works with expert print makers, to create high quality fine art prints which are available to buy here. All prints are available framed and unframed and in standard and premium options.

Can I buy other products featuring your artwork?

Yes – Josie licenses her artwork to select companies who share her vision for beautifully made illustrated products. Shop puzzles, wallpaper, books, fabric and more here.

How can I be kept up to date with Josie’s illustrations?

Sign up to Josie’s newsletter here to receive the latest updates from the studio. Josie posts daily studio updates on Instagram.

How do you become an illustrator? Can you give me some tips?

The best way to ask these questions is commenting on a picture on Instagram. Josie loves sharing her experiences as an illustrator and occasionally does talks on starting a creative business. If you are interested in booking Josie for your event or as a visiting lecturer, please do get in touch.

May I use your designs for my work?

You will need to contact Josie for permission before using her designs. Please email josie@josieshenoy.com with your proposal.

Art Prints

What’s the difference between a Premium and Standard print?

Standard prints are an open (unlimited) edition, and come with a Certificate of Authenticity which is hand-signed and stamped by Josie. Premium prints are in a limited edition print run of 100 of each size, and are embellished with gold by Josie, making each print unique. Premium prints are hand-signed and numbered by Josie, with a Certificate of Authenticity which is hand-signed and stamped by Josie. Premium prints can be personalised with a hand-written dedication – please email this to Josie at the time of ordering. Read more about Josie’s prints and frames here.

What’s a limited edition?

It is a limited run of an artwork which is made up of a set number of art prints in a set number of sizes. Once they’ve gone, they’ve gone!

What edition number will I receive?

If you’d like to confirm which edition number you’ll receive or request a specific edition number for a special occasion, please email josie@josieshenoy.com.

What is a Certificate of Authenticity?

A Certificate of Authenticity is a signed document which shows that the print is the genuine article. It’s recommended that you keep this with your print, even once framed. All Josie’s prints come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Can I have an existing print personalised by Josie?

To make your Premium print even more special, Josie can personalise an existing print with a hand-written one-line dedication, like a name or date, for no extra cost. Please email Josie with your request and she will be happy to help. Additional fees may apply dependent on level of personalisation and detail.

What are your frames like?

Josie works with professional framers, who make sure your print is displayed to perfection! Our made-to-order, ready-to-hang frames are professionally assembled using sustainably sourced wood, acid free custom cut mounts and lightweight and durable UV resistant acrylic which is indistinguishable from glass. Frames are available in black, white and a really beautiful and subtle metallic gold wood (Josie’s favourite!) If you have a different colour frame in mind, do get in touch with Josie and she will be happy to discuss bespoke options with you. Framed prints are currently available in the UK only.

How do I care for prints/frames?

If you have ordered an unframed print, it is recommended that you try to frame it as soon as possible. Until then, keep it flat (you can weigh it down with some books.) Keep prints and frames away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity and out of harm’s way. You can keep your Certificate of Authenticity safe in the frame too. Use an anti-static cloth to clean the glazing.
