Hi There
Hi, I'm Hawthorn — the artist and designer behind Fawn.
I was born and raised in the Oxfordshire countryside, and that's still where most of my inspiration comes from — my work is heavily nature-inspired at its core. But every project also draws on the business I'm working with: their voice, their atmosphere, the feeling of the space itself.
Drawing and painting have been a constant throughout my life for as long as I can remember. Along the way I've explored nearly every creative medium going, and that trial and error eventually led me to murals and large-scale work. Glass became a particular favourite — there's something special about painting in a space where people can actually stop, watch, and connect with the work as it's being made. That kind of exchange is rare so I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to connect with communities I'm painting in.
I trained in art and design, and that distinction matters to me — I'm not just putting art on your shopfront, I'm designing for it. That means thinking about your demographic, what you want to draw attention to, whether you're shifting your brand identity, or trying to convey something your shopfront isn't quite saying yet. It's art, but it's also a form of advertising - bespoke to your business.
