About Obiko - Obiko

Hi, my name is Linda, born in Oxford, I have from a young age loved drawing and everything to do with paper and patterns. In recent times I have taken my passion into illustration and painting and now I work in many different mediums including paint, ink, oil pastel and collage.

I studied at the Camberwell College of Arts London, graduating in 1999 with a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design.

After graduation, I continued with my drawing and painting on a personal level until 2010 when I founded the design studio Obiko, based in the seasisde town of Hastings UK, where I currently live.

January 2010, I started to sell luxury stationery to independent local shops in Hastings.
Within a year, Obiko products, could be found in some of the most sort after shops and art galleries worldwide from Liberty in London, Spiral in Tokyo to the Art Gallery North South Wales in Sydney.

March 2015, I changed direction with my artwork, concentrating on more minimal hand-drawn designs. Much of my work is inspired by plants in the garden, walks in nature and objects of simplicity.

October 2024 I have decided to paint just for myself. For now, I will only be working on my one line floral drawings on greeting cards, these are available on the website. If you have an independent shop and would like to stock the cards please get in touch by emailing Linda at info@obiko.co.uk

Again thank you all for your continued support it has meant a lot to me x
