About me...

Esther Coombs is a practicing artist living and working in Hampshire, who believes life is a story and that narrative is best told with drawings. For further information, visit www.esthercoombs.com, call 07729 774177, email esther@esthercoombs.com

After Graduating from Middlesex University in 2003 Esther has worked in a variety of environments including vintage retail, museums such as the V&A and galleries before acknowledging the pull that returned her back to drawings and up cycling.

Work by Esther Coombs has gone from strength to strength in. Among the highlights was a double page feature in The Times on upcoming names to watch during Design Week.
Esther work has been well received at trade and retail fairs and many are stocked in well-respected London stores, such as Liberties of London. The range is now also stocked internationally from LA to Taipei and are regularly featured in national home-style magazine shoots for desirable kitchen and eco items.

Reusing and recycling is a practice which extends to every aspect of my business- packaging, shipping, printing, manufacture and all 100% British.
My customers seem delighted to choose a repurposed piece of art over a new, mass-produced one, made in China, art-lovers and design conscience buyers don't want cheap – they want unique.”

"It is both the physical and narrative qualities of my work—I find vintage pieces and rewrite their stories by adding my own with my illustrations, my main aim is to transform lost gems into new, desirable items"
