Liz and Katherine(Kat) Pope are sisters and also two wonderful artists that work in painting, printmaking, and collage. The Pope sisters are British and their studio is in Chesterfield, England.

The sisters have worked as children’s book illustrators, greeting cards, and posters for many years. The sister’s worked on a series of greeting cards for Taylor Swift.

I enjoy their collage work the most. Wonderful design with a vibrant use of color. The sisters take a great design such as an urban scene of houses. Rather than take the time to paint nearly every window a la Richard Estes, some multi story buildings have only 4 windows. This artistic duo have a great and unique style perfect for children’s books illustration. Great design and whimsical at the same time.

Price range information: Posters and greeting cards can be found for less than $10. Originals can reach as much as $600 euros.
