About

Zoe Parker is a Fashion Illustrator, Live Event Illustrator, Wedding Illustrator, Portrait Artist, and Graphic Recorder based in Croydon.
She also runs creative art workshops and sells a curated range of art prints inspired by the people she meets. Zoe lives with her son and their four cats, who keep her home-studio lively and full of personality.
Drawing people is Zoe’s greatest joy. She is endlessly inspired by expressive clothing, bold silhouettes, and individuals who look like they have a story to tell. She fell in love with fashion illustration and adores capturing people dressed up for weddings, parties, and special events. Live illustration allows her to document these moments in real time — joyful, intimate, and reassuringly human.
Zoe has illustrated people from all walks of life. In 2015, she travelled to Ethiopia and created a series of charcoal drawings and paintings inspired by the tribeswomen she met. One of these pieces went on to win an award in the Royal Watercolour Society’s annual competition, a milestone that continues to shape her artistic journey.
