a variety of vintage nostalgic items from rachel's art studio which are photographed in a flat-lay aerial view


welcome to my illustrated world

I’m Rachel Corcoran, and I illustrate and design whimsical worlds from my hometown Dublin, Ireland. My illustrations are inspired by my love of history, vintage ephemera, food, flowers, and story telling. My handmade aesthetic is cherished by customers and clients worldwide, as it reminds them of times gone-by when the world was a little bit more rose-tinted.


shop nostalgic paper delights

For over a decade I have been illustrating and designing delightful art prints, greetings cards, and stationery from my little home studio in Dublin. My premium paper keepsakes are unique to the market; with my distinctive style and imagination taking the main focus, my products are almost like lost pages from fanciful illustrated books. Discover curious characters, pretty places, and nostalgic memories; all captured on paper to celebrate and cherish your own personal stories.


 


My Illustration Portfolio

My portfolio features illustrations from a variety of wonderful projects I’ve worked on. From deliciously sweet foods, to exploring secret gardens; my illustrations can even be seen driving daily around Dublin City on vintage tea buses! 

 


illustrated books

I have created much-loved illustrations for many children’s books, including Judi Curtin’s popular series ‘Lily at Lissadell,’ and ‘Time After Time.’ Some of my clients include Penguin Random House, O’Brien Press, and Usborne.
