There’s something special about witnessing an artist at work—watching ideas take shape, colour come alive, and emotion translate into form. Capturing Tilly in her studio was exactly that. From playful moments to quiet focus, each image celebrates both the artist and her art.

Tilly Trevitt is a self-taught, neurodivergent artist known for expressive abstracts and intimate figuratives. Playful, personal and deeply introspective, Tilly’s work explores emotion, connection and identity.
Whether joyfully maximalist or careful and minimal, her paintings feel tender, alive and boldly hopeful.

Bringing that energy into portraits was a joy, and I’m delighted to share these portraits show the creativity, character and spirit behind her work.

“Serena is a brilliant photographer! I felt so comfortable and seen. She really helped me to feel safe to express myself, open up in front of the camera and have fun with it. We took a range of photos and they all turned out beautifully – even better than I’d hoped. Thank you so much! I absolutely love them.”
