I'm Kym and I am the artist, maker & surface pattern designer behind Kilo Papa Studio and I'm based in Glasgow, Scotland.

I've been running my business part-time since 2017, finally making the jump to full-time in Summer 2021.

Some of my early work is monochromatic and highly stylised and my more recent pieces are more graphic and full of colour.

I hand draw all of my pieces with fine liner pens (some taking tens of hours to complete, yikes!)

I'm greatly inspired by Scotland, its landscape, landmarks and culture alike. I focus on subject matter that nurtures connections between people, place and object. Whether it be humour, fond memories or a reminder of home, I want my art to help tell the individual stories of my audience and their connection to Scotland.

Enter my topographical map era. The colourful topographical maps are like my children. I love each one. And I love how much you guys love them too. I can't wait to see where the business goes next and I'm excited to develop new products and ideas!
