About
Frances Costelloe is an artist, brand consultant, and garden designer based in London. After honing her expertise with prestigious fashion and homeware brands, including Bella Freud, Frances launched her eponymous studio in 2017. Her ceramics, artwork, and limited edition prints have been stocked in renowned retailers such as Liberty, Anna + Nina, Glassette, and Partnership Editions.
With a keen eye for both design and nature, Frances's work has been featured in leading publications including Vogue, The Sunday Times Style, HTSI, and the Financial Times. She has collaborated with distinguished brands such as Clarins, Eyeko, and Ancient Greek Sandals, creating bespoke illustrations for products, menus, and invitations.
A skilled illustrator, Frances works across a variety of mediums including ink, watercolour, and pastel. Her signature reductive line drawings appear on ceramics, lampshades, and textiles. Recently, she trained as a garden designer, a practice that has further enriched her art with natural forms and botanical themes.
Flowers, scallop shells, and other organic motifs frequently appear in her work, reflecting her deepening engagement with horticulture. Recent highlights include her collaboration with Fired Earth, where she hand painted her bearded iris design onto their Florence freestanding bath using a curated palette of 12 Fired Earth colours, and a double sell out matchbox collection with Alexandra Stedman of The Frugality, featuring her distinctive scallop shell design.
Through both her artistic and garden design practices, Frances celebrates the beauty of the natural world and creates work that seamlessly bridges art, design, and nature.
