Ada May: Designer, Illustrator, Artist & Maker…
Ada May is my pencil name… I’m Thea(dora) Adelaide May Welsford – bit of a mouthful so most people just call me Thea for short. I’m a Bristol based Graphic Designer and Illustrator.
Thea’s artwork explores themes of activism, social justice, climate change, punk, music, and popular culture with pop-art references.
“I don’t think about art when I’m working. I try to think about life.”
This Swiss Scape design was created for Thea’s mama. Inspired by her family’s Swiss heritage, the patterns and the iconography from Swiss folklore.
