Collection: Claire Ishino

Claire Ishino studied Jewellery Design as well as a year of Graphic Design at the University of South Australia. After graduating, she worked as a designer in the jewellery industry in Adelaide before moving to Japan where she taught English and developed her own jewellery-making practice.

Claire now works from her home-studio in Adelaide and produces original gouache or acrylic paintings and black and white ink drawings. From these original works, she makes limited edition archival reproductions printed on Hahnemuhle Bamboo paper. Her work is inspired by Australian natives and other botanic forms and reflects her love of colour, repetition and pattern. 

Claire's illustrations appear on the 23rd Street Distillery Signature Gin, Rose Vodka and Violet Gin and Jim Barry’s Annabelle’s Rose. She has loved collaborating with other local creatives such as Kitty Came Home and Phoebe Lamps.
