My work is rooted in the landscapes of my childhood and the rugged beauty of my current home in the Scottish Borders. I grew up surrounded by the countryside, and my illustrations are a way of capturing the nostalgia and calm found in those places.

Whether it is the lighthouses from family day trips, the dandelions I used to play "tell the time" with, or the coastal shores where I’ve spent long summer days—usually eating sand-filled sandwiches—every piece I create tells a story of place. It isn’t a true Scottish picnic unless the sand gets everywhere!

Working predominantly in ink with a fine-line illustrative style, I translate my hand-drawn studies into contemporary textiles, homeware, and art prints.

What began in 2020 as a creative response to a changing world has grown into Jane Gray Design. Today, I am proud to combine my technical background in printed textiles with my love for traditional illustration to create high-quality, sustainably-made pieces that bring a touch of the outdoors into the home.
