Tanya Heidrich
Pattern Artist, Illustrator & Muralist
Valencia, SpainI'm an independent surface pattern designer, illustrator & muralist specializing in all things black & white.
Enhancing the quiet details and shifting focus away from overall forms and color, I play with textures and details to create fun, unique designs with a handmade quality. I draw inspiration from the simple beauty of everyday things, from alpine flora and leafy plants in surrounding nature, to manhole covers and tiles in countries I’ve been lucky enough to travel to. Sketchbook in hand, I’m always dreaming up new patterns along the way!
Feel free to get in touch to collaborate on a creative project, discover my pattern collections, commission a unique design or simply say hi!
