Hi, I’m Tamsin, an artist, designer, and teacher behind The Purple Cottage Studio and The Purple Cat Brand. My work is rooted in a love of creativity, storytelling, and the small details that make everyday life feel special.

The Purple Cottage Studio is my creative and teaching space—a place inspired by cozy cottages, nature, and the belief that art should feel welcoming and accessible. Through original artwork and hands-on teaching, I encourage curiosity, self-expression, and confidence. I love helping others discover their own creative voice and showing that art is not about perfection, but about connection and joy.

The Purple Cat Brand is where my illustrations come to life as thoughtfully designed, art-driven products. Each piece begins as original artwork and is created to be both playful and practical—meant to be used, gifted, and enjoyed in daily life. This brand reflects my belief that art doesn’t belong only on walls; it can live in the objects we use and love every day.

Across both brands, my goal is the same: to create and share art that feels warm, approachable, and meaningful, while inspiring others to embrace creativity in their own way.
