The wondrous and simple artwork known as “Lolly Sticks” by artist Kym Bowles is already getting recognition in a variety of markets including stationery and gift.

The concept is best explained in Kym’s own words… “I have tried to evoke simple lines with a whimsical charm that together has created an elegance and sophistication that can be enjoyed by all, young and old. The idea really evolved from wanting to have characters that were anonymous yet charming and elegantly long and tall.”

Kym lives in an old 1873 quaint schoolhouse that backs on to the original quintessential English country school in the country setting of Lancashire. Married with two delightful young children, Kym draws inspiration from this wonderful setting and family life.

Kym recognized from an early age that a career in illustration had always been her main aim in life – writing an illustrating her own children’s books being her ultimate goal.

After studying in Art College in the picturesque northern English countryside, Kym worked for several advertising agencies. With a desire to design and paint from her own imagination Kym decided to leave corporate life behind and work from her own home studio. In quick time, Kym became well established and very well recognized in the stationery markets as a freelance designer.
