Meet the chaos behind the colour…

Hi! I’m Ava — artist, illustrator, and full-time wrangler of thread, pencils, and occasionally snails (don’t ask).

I’m the human behind The Illustrated Gifter — a whimsical little world where animals wear crowns, embroidery tells stories, and no two gifts are ever the same.

Whether I’m drawing your cat in a tutu, stitching a hedgehog into a hoodie, or creating prints full of bold colour and magical creatures… you can bet it’s made with love, mischief, and probably snacks.

What do I do?

• ✨ Custom Pet Portraits (the sillier the better)

• 🎨 Bright, bold art prints for magical homes

• 🧶 One-of-a-kind embroidered pieces

• 💌 Greetings cards, keychains and occasionally other bits…

Everything’s hand-drawn, handmade, and completely unique — because cookie-cutter isn’t really my vibe.

A few fun facts

- I’m a mum to a beautiful, feral, toddler!

- My shop mascot is called a Snibler, that leafy creature who’s in my logo. He lives rent free in my head, my cutest creation.

- I fully believe pets are just as important as some people, and more important than most others.

Let’s make something magical!

If you’re looking for a gift that makes someone gasp (in a good way), a custom piece that captures your fur babies spirit, or just something weird and wonderful to put on your wall - I’ve got you.

Thank you for supporting my small business and letting me turn pure chaos into colourful, heartfelt art. You’re the best💅🏼
