About Bonbi Forest

Bonbi Forest is a home of sorts to the illustrated wares of artist, illustrator and author Lee Foster-Wilson. Lee grew up in the Cornish countryside surrounded by nature and her family’s menagerie of animals. The shapes and colours of nature always seem to make an appearance in her work no matter what she is drawing. Lee enjoys observing the relationship of people to nature and to each other, often defined in the phrases, text and weird and wonderful celestial and mystical symbols she likes to add to her pieces. Lee started Bonbi Forest in 2006 after graduating from her Fine Art degree at the University of Brighton as a way to get her artwork out into the world. The range has evolved over the years into a beautiful range of jewellery, accessories, art prints, cards and stationery all featuring her colourful and thoughtful artwork. Lee is also a freelance illustrator represented by Jehane LTD and has authored two books with Quarto, Creative Marker Art and Beyond and The Grown Up’s Guide to Making Art with Kids. She currently lives back in the Cornish countryside in a converted threshing barn with her family. Each and every Bonbi Forest order is made and packed in her studio there. She hopes you like what you see!Read their story
