Renée Clarke is an illustrator and artist based in Bristol, UK.

ABOUT

Renée is an illustrator from Houston based in Bristol. She illustrates for brands, products, and ad campaigns worldwide, specialising in editorial, food, fashion, and lifestyle.

She used to be a translator in a newsroom and now describes herself as a visual translator, building bridges with images between ideas, cultures, and emotions.

Working across digital and analogue tools, her illustrations capture the whimsy, ambiguity, and vibrancy of being alive.


It's important to Renée that evidence of a real person’s hand (≥ hers) is visible in her illustrations.
