Liz Harry Speaks Fluently in Rainbow

You don’t have to be a scientist to realize that color can change our mood, sleep, and even our happiness. Have you ever walked into a bright room and somehow felt a little bit happier? Or gazed towards the blue sky and felt a sense of calm wash over you? Understanding that color plays a role in our daily lives can help us shape our reality.

Designer and illustrator Liz Harry understands color intuitively. A one-woman show, she’s known for her joyful designs and illustrations that are infused with all the colors of the rainbow.

Based in Liverpool, UK, Harry has a love for rainbows and a drawing style that feeds into her accessories design. But you don’t even have to purchase her accessories and products to enjoy her instant mood lifters. Simply scrolling through her Instagram feed would add a pop of color to your day.

With a background in the music industry, creating cover art for bands, both music and pop in general have had a huge influence over her work. But Harry also takes inspiration from her immediate environment.

“Though I do take a lot of inspo from popular culture and packaging aesthetically, I find what I’m surrounded by on the day-to-day is what feeds mostly into my work,” she told The Positive Print Company.

Working from her colorful home office, and being constantly surrounding by her three children also serves to inspire her. “So, as I’ve got 3 kids, there’s the influence of cartoons and a fun, playful side,” she notes. “But sometimes it’s just the conversations I’m having or what I’m doing in that moment that spark a thought.”

According to Harry, she started drawing when she was just a child and hasn’t stopped ever since. “During my teenage years I entered loads of drawing competitions, which kinda cemented the idea of art as a career,” she adds. Purchase her pins, accessories, cards, and illustrated gifts on her Etsy shop, and follow her on Instagram for more color.
