The Artists: Sasha Compton
Sasha Compton is a British Artist and Designer based in London. Known for her colourful freehand style in painting or ceramics, Sasha transports viewers into a timeless world of Art by creating modern reinterpretations of classical concepts. Using expressive and experimental techniques, she works with the colour theory to create whimsical and dreamlike artworks with the aim of bringing joy into people's lives. With a colourful lens on life, her perfectly imperfect artworks and ceramics add a splash of joy to any home.
Sasha grew up in North Yorkshire and the Isle of Mull, Scotland. She was awarded an art scholarship at the age of 14 years old and went on to study at Central St. Martins (2012, Illustration) and then at Chelsea College of Art (BA Graphic Design in 2015). She lived in Amsterdam for four years and moved back to London in 2022 where she now creates in her colourful art studio in Lambeth.
Since setting up Sasha Compton in 2020, Sasha has had international recognition in the likes of Vogue Scandinavia, House & Garden, Tatler, World of Interiors and more. She has also worked with brands such as Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, Thyme Hotels, Edmiston Yachts, Sir John Soane's Museum, Noble MacMillan, and Oliver Bonas.
All her designs are hand made, hand-drawn or painted and embrace the skill creativity and craft. She minimises waste by making one off works or limited editions, and often re-uses packaging and other materials to be as sustainable as possible. She encourages you to shop less and buy better, and in doing so, protect the planet and traditional skills that go into creating hand made Art.
