About Celia Lloyd-Jones

I’m a multi-disciplinary artist with a love of colour, pattern and the natural world. I've been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, but I began my side-hustle during lockdown, selling illustrated letters and names to family and friends.

My business really took off during maternity leave, when I suddenly found myself brimming with creative ideas for my baby’s nursery - and painting became a welcome source of calm and focus amid the chaos. By the end of my maternity leave, I had built my website and rebranded from Painting the Alphabet to CL-J Designs to reflect the growing range of work I was creating.

This is still very much a side-hustle and not my full time job (yet), but i'm so grateful for the support and patience of my customers for giving me new projects to focus on between everything else.
