"Always Welcome makes me think of a type of visual support structure, interlinking people and creating a space where everyone feels included"

Erin Aniker is an Illustrator whose bold and colourful people driven illustrations draw inspiration from her upbringing and love of her home city of London, her dual Turkish and British heritage, appreciation of Islamic art and patterns and the inclusive community she has grown up with in east London.

Alongside her personal work, she enjoys creating illustrations for use in editorials, books, advertising campaigns and more.

She also draws inspiration from a lot of ’60s and ’70s art including the Feminist posters of See Red Women’s Workshop, Bridget Riley and the geometry of Islamic patterns and abstract artists such as Fahrelnissa Zeid.
