Eloise Short is a textile designer and illustrator, working with some of the world’s biggest brands and creating a number of children’s books in recent times. Growing up in Brisbane, Eloise immersed herself into arts and innovation, developing a love for creativity from a young age.
Through her experiences, Eloise has developed a clear perspective on her work and a commitment to always honing her craft.
“You reach certain milestones and you think that it’s going to feel like success…but all of a sudden, you start striving for the next goal,” Eloise said.
“I’ve come to realise that success is actually a whole lot of little achievements put together over many years. There’s not one kind of defining thing that makes you feel as though you’ve achieved a level of success in your industry.”
Attending art college in her twenties broadened Eloise’s horizon and uncovered a love for textile design, which she carries through to this day.
“My idea of being an artist evolved into being a textile designer…that has actually suited me much more over the years than being a fine artist or contemporary artist,” Eloise said.
“Art college opened my eyes to the fact that art was actually about much more than how well you could draw or paint. It taught me about the bigger picture of art…consequently I realised that design was more suited to me and my ability.”
