Harvest Hare

Winner of an Elle Decoration British Design Award in 2012, "Harvest Hare" by Mark Hearld is a single colour wallpaper, printed in the UK using water-based inks and paper from sustained forests.

Born in 1974, Mark Hearld studied illustration at Glasgow College of Art and then completed an MA in Natural History Illustration at the Royal College of Art.

Taking his inspiration from the flora and fauna of the British countryside, Mark works across a number of mediums, producing limited edition lithographic and linocut prints, unique paintings, collages and hand-painted ceramics. [Mark admires] artist/designers such as Bawden, Piper, Nash – artists well regarded for their forays into the world of commercial design.

Mark Hearld has recently completed commissions for Faber & Faber and Tate Museums. A children's book [Outside Your Window] illustrated by a series of Mark's unique collages was published by Walker Books in May 2012. In Autumn 2012 Merrell Books published Mark Hearld's Work Book – the first book devoted to Mark's work.
