ABOUT

Based in Bournemouth Phoebe Atkey was a young, self-taught artist with a particular passion for architecture, cityscapes and botanical illustration. Being autistic, she had an eye for detail, was focused and very meticulous, which can be demonstrated in her art.

Phoebe worked primarily with pen and coloured pencil. Phoebe created and published two books, Wish You Were Here & Herbarium Vitae: Roses & Peonies, and her work can be found in various other publications. She was often commissioned for her individual style and ability to depict a variety of subject matter.

Born in 1997 Phoebe sadly passed away in September 2021 aged 24.

Phoebe was an active supporter of the children’s mental health charity Young Minds UK. Phoebe’s family and friends continue to raise funds in her memory for Young Minds UK. Please click on the Young Minds image below for details of our current fundraising activity.
