About Sasha's Artwork
​
Sasha Compton is a British Artist and Designer based in London. Known for her colourful freehand style in painting or ceramics, Sasha transports viewers into a timeless world of Art by creating modern reinterpretations of classical concepts. Using expressive and experimental techniques, she works with the colour theory to create decorative, whimsical and dreamlike artworks with the aim of bringing joy into people's lives.
Inspired by nature, Sasha grew up in North Yorkshire and the Isle of Mull, Scotland. She was awarded an art scholarship at the age of 14 years old and went on to study at Central St. Martins (2012, Illustration) and then at Chelsea College of Art (BA Graphic Design in 2015). She lived in Amsterdam for four years and moved back to London in 2022 where she now creates in her colourful art studio in Lambeth.
Since setting up Sasha Compton in 2020, Sasha has had international recognition in the likes of Financial Times HTSI, House & Garden, Tatler, World of Interiors and more. She has also worked with brands such as Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, And Objects, Isabella Worsley, Thyme Hotels, Edmiston Yachts, Sir John Soane's Museum, Noble MacMillan, and Selfridges & Co.
All her designs are hand made, hand-drawn or painted and embrace character and skill of creativity and craft. She minimises waste by making one off works or limited editions, and often re-uses packaging and other materials to be as sustainable as possible. She encourages you to shop less and buy better, and in doing so, protect the planet and traditional skills that go into creating hand made Art.
​
Sasha takes on private commissions and collaborations regularly, please get in touch if this is of interest.

"In today's world there is so much pressure to be perfect. My work is all about embracing the differences. I like to experiment with unpredictable creative methods; such as lino printing. ceramic glazes or watercolours. These materials seem to have a life of their own which I love. I embrace those imperfections that give an artwork it's own character, as if each piece has its own personality."
