About Made by Ilze

Made by Ilze

Designer of eclectic homewares, prints and gifts. Handmade in the UK.

Originally from Cape Town and now resident in the city of Bristol in England, I’ve loved making art since I can remember. I studied fine art painting, printmaking, graphic and textile design and haven't really looked back since.

Due to my life of two halves geographically speaking, my work is strongly influenced by my South African roots. I love bright colours, bold pattern and lots of Cape Town imagery, combined into a sort of fusion eclectic mix. I also love my home city of Bristol, which has featured in a lot of my work lately. Other influences include travel, weird nature and pattern but I never restrict myself on where the next inspiration may come from.

I hope my work spreads some colour and joy, because what more could one really ask for?
