Melissa Donne is an illustrator from the South Coast of the UK whose joyful, playful work is underpinned by a love of colour. She takes traditional subjects such as botanical and food illustration and adds an abstract sensibility, intricate pattern and fine detail.

Working predominantly in digital media, she builds dreamy, ethereal illustrations with clashing palettes and textured brushes. A surface-pattern designer as well, she has licensed her art across home decor, stationery, apparel and editorial projects.
