Midnight Illustrations was founded by multi award winning illustrator / freelance artist and small business owner Katrina Taylor. (Kat) ( BA (Hons)) in 2021. 

Born in Stoke-on-Trent, now Based in South Wales, Kat is known and recognised for both her dynamic, detailed, graphic, realistic style and her soft, vibrant, playful style in both digital art and Limited edition Lino prints.  

Created as a way to not only bring Kats art and designs to the public but also create products that are not only unique, high quality but also eco friendly and in turn also making art accessible to all to enjoy. Focusing on helping the local and UK communities by only using eco-friendly materials and  manufacturers based in the UK.

 Designed to not to only challenge Kat artistically but also a way to channel her way of dealing with her depression, anxiety and chronic pain, dyslexia and dyspraxia. Allowing her to not only work but hopefully inspire others who are similarly challenged to believe in themselves.

Kat loves to work on different genres. Inspired by nature, books and television she enjoys and her life experiences, along with her pet rabbit Bilbo Bunnings. Who was the original inspiration for her beloved collection she labels “the buns”. 

Her art has been featured in galleries across the uk and her stunning art business has won multiple awards. Often found working with local communities, businesses and councils to sell her art at local events along with larger events across the UK including conventions.

Kat looks forward to pushing boundaries and using her unique art styles to build bridges through her dynamic artwork with  both her private and industry professional clients, world wide. Hoping to bring as much joy to the people who see her artwork as she has creating.
