Original paintings and illustrations by Zoë Docherty

I’m a freelance artist based in Manchester, UK, creating botanical studies, landscapes, townscapes and illustrative work. I paint primarily in watercolour and gouache, often working on textured and handmade papers to bring softness and character to each piece.
I hold a BA (Hons) in Textiles from Manchester Metropolitan University, and since graduating I’ve enjoyed building a freelance career focused on commissioned artworks and original paintings.
