No matter how big or small, how subdued or vibrant, art in its various forms has the ability to completely transform a space. Along with its ability to elevate a home, art plays an important role in self expression.

From wall hangings to ceramic pieces, the demand for art continues to grow, and with this growing demand, comes an increase in talented emerging artists creating pieces to cater to the needs of those who want it.

Below, you’ll find 10 emerging British Artists whose works can adorn the walls and floors of your home for less than $700.

1. Harlie Briggs

Former art teacher Harlie Briggs is a multidisciplinary artist, utilising various disciplines to hone in on the work of her mind's eye. She’s heavily inspired by intuition, the natural world and the female form. Using whipped acrylic paint and complimentary hues (particularly green and pink), her work bears a resemblance to 19th-century impressionism, albeit with a twenty-first-century flair and a nod to womanhood in its varied forms.

2. Frances Costelloe

Frances Costelloe’s eponymous brand was founded in 2017. She creates climate-positive homeware and art prints. Her work is widely recognised for its whimsical brush strokes and the prevalence of saturated hues that air on the side of pastel. Her curvilinear lines and romanticised depictions of landscapes are recurring themes, as is the subject of the female form.

3. Amberlee Green

Amberlee Green of Line and Honey is a self-taught illustrator working with minimalist concepts and fine lines. She advocates for the importance of one's mental health – in particular, that of black women, illustrating Afro hair, focusing on the importance of self-care, and in doing so disrupting the rhetoric of the “strong black woman”. Instead, her pieces evoke a state of rest – playing, stretching and unapologetically indulging in food. Notable moments in Amberlee’s CV include a visual merchandising collaboration with British jeweller Astrid & Miyu and the release of her Duality Journal.

4. Liv & Dom

This January, identical twins Liv and Dom Cave-Sutherland graced our Makers series, where we were warmly welcomed into their charming countryside abode and it was everything you’d expect from the talented duo. Their affinity for folk art and antiques influences their artwork. They marry juxtaposing elements – namely vintage with contemporary and functionality with off-piste elements, particularly when it comes to celebrating the nude form. Case in point – their joy-inducing incense stick holders.

5. Freya Bramble-Carter

Freya’s accolades have been rightly commemorated in the likes of British Vogue’s “Voices for Change” campaign. Having grown up inspired by her father and fellow artist, Chris Brambles, Freya later went on to perfect her craft as a ceramic artist. Boasting a strong affinity to natural elements, she moulds soulful and energetic pieces for the home.

6. Sasha Compton

Hailing from Yorkshire, where she was awarded a scholarship aged fourteen, art has been Sasha’s life's work since her early years. She’s since gone on to study various forms of art – from graphic illustration to ceramic homewares. On her website, you’ll find myriad forms of her exquisite works, lovingly adorned on many textures and textiles – from lino to giclée prints. She’s also available for commissions.

7. Andrea Cheong

Having amassed a loyal internet following for her inimitable content on mindful clothing acquirements, Andrea Cheong has been coined one of the most quietly influential women in British fashion by Grazia UK. What you may be unaware of is that she’s also the artist behind studio WAIH (Who Art in Heaven), where she produces artwork predominantly utilising watercolour. Her latest project saw her illustrate her debut book Why Don’t I Have Anything to Wear and she’ll soon be working on commissioned pieces.

8. Lucy Mahon

Contemporary artist, Lucy Mahon consolidates several art mediums to create spirited pieces. Lucy's work loans a nostalgic element with vibrancy and hand doodles, courtesy of her weekly notes. Spanning themes of nature, to quintessential British jargon (weather discourse, for example), there’s an undeniable dopamine effect when you witness her work, which will no doubt make her wall art a cheerful addition to the home.

9. Ruby Hughes

“Painting about Pasta and wine” are Ruby’s words, although her arsenal far exceeds the realm of tantalising food pairings. Ruby utilises bold brush strokes and tropical hues adorned on cotton-rich canvases, digital prints and silk scarfs if you so wish. Having collaborated with the likes of Maison Cleo and Reco Paris, she’s also recognised in the realm of apparel with wearable artworks, which you can also purchase on her e-commerce site, Sshepaints.

10. Alexandria Coe

London-based artist Alexandria Coe is renowned for both her self-portrait photography and oil paintings. Alexandria delves into the relationship to self, and the concept of gender with nudity being a prevalent theme. This further evokes themes of vulnerability, fluidity, movement and challenging of social norms. Her pieces feel radical, yet soft – a poetic juxtaposition.
