Art inspired by the natural world

Chantelle Rae Designs is a Devon-based creative studio where art and the natural world go hand in hand. Inspired by the rich wildlife, lush landscapes, and quietly extraordinary plant life of the British countryside, Chantelle creates work that feels alive - full of warmth, detail, and the kind of beauty you find when you slow down and really look.

Whether it's a greetings card sent with love, an illustration to grace your wall, or a painting that brings the outside in, every piece is created by hand with genuine passion. This is art for people who find joy in a kingfisher darting over water, a foxglove catching the light, or the intricate veining of a single leaf.

Card Design

There's something special about receiving a card that was made with real care. Chantelle's greetings cards are drawn from her original artwork - featuring delicate botanicals, wildlife portraits, and seasonal scenes that capture the charm of the natural world. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, thank yous, or just because. Each card is a small piece of art that's as lovely to keep as it is to give.

Illustration

From intricate ink drawings to soft, painterly studies, Chantelle's illustrations explore the textures and personalities of the natural world. Wildlife is a particular passion - birds, foxes, hedgehogs, deer, and the many creatures that make the Devon countryside so full of life. These illustrations are available as fine art prints, can be commissioned for personal or commercial projects, and make a beautiful, thoughtful addition to any home.

Textile Design

Trained in Textile Design at Falmouth University, my love of fabrics, pattern, and surface design has always been rooted in the natural world. Animals, wildlife, and the organic textures of nature inform every piece - from initial sketch to final fabric. Studying at Falmouth deepened my understanding of colour, composition, and craft, and gave me the foundation to create textiles that feel as alive as the world that inspires them.

Painting & Mixed Media

Chantelle's paintings are where colour, texture, and the natural world meet in their most immersive form. Working in watercolour, acrylic, and mixed media, she creates original artworks that bring the atmosphere of nature indoors - dappled woodland light, coastal wildflowers, the earthy richness of autumn. Each painting is entirely original and one of a kind, making it a genuinely special piece to own, gift, or commission for your home or workspace.
