Make time for yourself.
Make time to create.

Hand-painted illustrations
& art in the Surrey Hills

Painting supplies including a blank canvas on a wooden easel, a small sketch of a still life with a vase of flowers, a bottle, a glass, and a loaf of bread, a palette with paint, tubes of paint, a brush, and a glass bottle with a pink flower, arranged on a table with a floral tablecloth outdoors.

Espasa is a little creative studio nestled in the Surrey Hills, born from the idea that art is a way to reconnect with yourself.

It's about slowing down, making time just for you, and enjoying the simple pleasure of creating something with your hands. A little moment of creativity that's good for the mind and soul.

Here you'll find my original illustrations and paintings, all made by hand, alongside creative workshops and a little inspiration to pick up a pencil or paintbrush and start creating yourself.

Because I believe art is for everyone, and sometimes all we need is a little space to begin.

Illustration services

I have a love for illustration, painting and drawing, and I also offer personalised commissions that make lovely, one-of-a-kind gifts.

From hand-painted portraits of your home or beloved pet to wedding stationery and thoughtful keepsakes, each piece is lovingly made by hand, especially for you.

Hello!

I am Laura

I’m the artist behind Espasa Studio. I paint the everyday things that are easy to miss: a table set for friends, morning coffee, the hills outside my window.

Read my story
A woman with long brown hair wearing a pink sweater and blue jeans stands indoors near a wall with colorful artwork and a red ukulele hanging on it. She appears to be reaching toward a small, tiered, circular decorative object on the wall. There is a window with blinds to her right, with a potted plant on a table nearby.
