Erin Aniker is a London based Illustrator whose bold and colourful people driven illustrations draw inspiration from the inclusive community she has grown up with in East London, her dual Turkish and British heritage and the colour palettes and patterns found in psychedelic and op-art of the 1960s and 70s.
She also draws inspiration from the patterns found in Islamic art and works of artists such as Bridget Riley and Fahrelnissa Zeid and women and human rights groups such as See Red Women's Workshop.
Alongside her personal work, she enjoys creating illustrations for use in editorials, books, advertising campaigns and more.
She also enjoys hosting illustration workshops for all ages and abilities and has held illustration workshops with The Design Museum, The V&A, The Wallace Collection, Whitechapel Gallery, Nike and various universities as well as being involved with local charities and community arts projects.
