May Annella ~The Story Behind the Collections

Finding décor that feels genuinely special can be harder than it should be. When so much of what’s out there feels generic or mass produced it’s easy to feel overwhelmed trying to create a space that actually feels like you. That’s why every piece I make is created with real intention, drawn from the natural world and from the places and experiences that have shaped who I am.

I grew up surrounded by colour and have spent my whole creative life paying close attention to it, how it behaves, how it makes you feel, how it changes a room. That obsession runs through everything I make, from my Limited Edition Art Prints to my coordinating Pattern Sets, my Colour Palettes and my Pattern Collections available for licensing.

I believe art has a genuine ability to comfort, inspire and make a space feel like home. That belief sits at the heart of everything I create and it’s what I want every piece to do when it finds its way onto your wall or into your home.

My Story

Sketchbook Tree Print

My Creative Path

Hello! I’m Kirsty, a Scottish artist and designer and the person behind May Annella. I create original art and designs, from hand drawn sketches to full digital collections, to help you build a home that genuinely feels like yours.

My route to this creative life was anything but straightforward. I started out studying fashion and textiles, which gave me a deep love of design and colour and how it works. From there my career took an unexpected turn into the world of wigs, hair and makeup in the entertainment industry. It was fast, creative and I travelled the world doing it. But after some significant life shifts I needed to slow down, step back from the pace of it all and rethink everything.

It was in that quieter space that I found my way back to art. I started sketching again, discovered digital design and stumbled into the world of repeat patterns. That was the moment everything clicked into place and I have never looked back.

Meet Me!

I’m passionate about colour, design and art and I make prints and seamless patterns for homes that want a bit of real personality.
