When I’m not trading at markets or making products for the stall, I’m usually at my drawing table bringing your commissions to life! Lately, I’ve been illustrating everything from wedding venues and cosy homes to a bespoke countryside hotel map with local walks, along with branding, hand-drawn logos, and personalised Cotswold maps.

I've received some lovely requests for personalised Cotswold Maps — from wedding venues and favourite countryside spots to newlyweds’ names, dates, and even memorable Airbnb stays. Each one tells its own little story, which I absolutely love. If you have a personal touch in mind you'd like me to add to the Cotswold Illustrated map for you simply pop an email over to me at Charlotte@thecotswoldillustratedcompany.co.uk or use the contact form.

Packaging Rebrand for Becky at The Cotswold Box Company


Becky envisioned a classic Cotswold scene for her business packaging, a perfect reflection of her locally crafted delights delivered straight to customers in a beautifully branded box.
It was such a joy to bring her vision to life, and this project remains one of my favourite commissions to date.
Thank you, Becky, for the opportunity to be part of your brand’s journey


The Great Tythe Barn, Tetbury. Wedding Venue Illustration for A&R

A&R found me at Cirencester Market with a wonderful request: a timeless, monochrome illustration of this stunning venue to feature on their wedding invitations.
They wanted something elegant and understated that would capture the character of the place while setting the tone for their special day.
A heartfelt thank you to A&R for trusting me to contribute to your wedding in this way—what an honour to know the illustration played a small part in marking the beginning of your new chapter together.

Some Illustrations From The Hotel Map For Guests

For this project, the illustrations were carefully placed around a hand-drawn map—quite different from the jumble of my sketches you can see here.
The client requested an A4 folded pocket map that would capture the beauty of the local architecture and countryside, as well as highlighting popular walks around the venue. It even included directions for three separate dog walks of varying difficulty, which required a lot of careful placement and adjustments.
This was by far my most challenging commission to date, but it allowed me to further refine both my technical skills and creative process.


The Village Pub in Barnsley, Cirencester, Cotswolds

This illustration of this beautiful old historic pub was commissioned as a unique anniversary gift for a couple who shared their first dinner date at this venue!
It was a pleasure to create a piece that captures both the character of the building and the special significance it holds for them.


Barbershop Logo

I designed a barbershop logo for Dom, who wanted to reflect the location of his new shop on Thames Street in a picturesque Oxfordshire village near the canal, incorporating a narrowboat theme.
The design needed to remain clean and simple while including key barber elements—a pair of scissors and a comb—which worked seamlessly with the side-on perspective he suggested.
The final piece was completed with Cotswold-style lettering, creating a distinctive and cohesive identity.
It was a pleasure to contribute to Doms new venture and support another local small business!
