Cheshire artist Allie Pottinger graduated with a BA hons degree in illustration. Initially she thought the place to be was the city and relocated down to London renting a small studio in bustling Covent Garden, which she hugely enjoyed. Ultimately though, home and family was in Cheshire and the green countryside drew her back. Allie’s charming watercolour paintings depict her love of nature, her subjects include cottage garden florals, country scenes, seasonal produce and wildlife and birds. Her studio is set in the beautiful North Cheshire countryside, where she teaches watercolour painting as well as creating her own work, and we like to think of her as our in-house artist here at Orchard Cards, her paintings illustrating a large range of our unique and great value Green Label range of cards for all occasions.
