About Eyvi Studio

Hello! I'm Alex a designer, artist and printmaker from Rutland, UK - welcome to my creative home, Eyvi Studio.

The name is inspired by the Eyebrook reservoir, a nearby protected nature conservation area and a haven for local flora and fauna. Both the Eyebrook and Rutland Water are particularly loved by native and migrating birds – a convenient stop-off point between the coasts.

Following an Art Foundation and BA in Multimedia Design, I've had a career in graphic design and marketing and in recent years, have found more time to spend on my  artistic path. My work is instinctively inspired by all things wild, by overlooked hedgerows, moments encountered when walking my parson terrier Bertie, by nature's lifecycles and the relationships between flora and fauna.

I like to approach subjects with open curiosity, initially studying, sketching and playing with mediums and ideas - eventually refining to several pieces of work. My present approach is driven by simplifying subjects, combining colour, exploring abstraction, layering printed textures and working with positive and negative space. My processes primarily include sketching, linocut and monoprint printmaking alongside paint and digital collage. 

My current processes have evolved from an experimental and quite epic 2020 lockdown print project #100BritishWeeds, documented on Instagram. Prints were created using monoprint processes, using wild foliage - collected caringly and sparingly - from the woods, fields and waters of Rutland. 

Alongside printmaking, I also create repeat patterns for apparel and homewares, applying them to a range of wallpapers and designing for professional uses on stage sets, clothing, homeware and accessories. 

I sell a selection of linocut, mono and giclée prints (some created as part of experimental processes, some more intentional) online and through local galleries. You can follow my creative journey on Instagram or TikTok both @eyvistudio and you can sign up for email updates below. 

Thanks for stopping by!
