Roamwide Santorini Jigsaw Puzzle, designed by Tarn Ellis
RW: Hi, Tarn. Where do you call home?
TE: I like to think of myself as a nomad, because I travel so much and don’t have a base anywhere. However I grew up in a little village in the south of England , and my parents still live there, so I guess that will always be my home.
RW: How did you start a your career as an illustrator?
TE: I am self taught (I actually studied psychology at university!). With artists on both sides of my family, I was always inspired to draw and create. Once I discovered I could draw on my iPad while travelling, there was nothing holding me back!
RW: What inspires your illustrations?
TE: Women, nature, travel, self love, divine feminine and flowers.

RW: What is the best part of seeing your art transformed into a Roamwide puzzle?
TE: Knowing that people will have a great time while effectively recreating my art! Making a painting is a process, piece by piece, much the same as a puzzle!

RW: Where can our readers find your work?
TE: I have an Instagram account which is where I post all my artwork: tarnellisart I also have an Etsy shop at Tarn Ellis Art.
RW: What do you do to relax?
TE: I love to sit by the ocean and watch the waves. Anything peaceful in nature for me is the ultimate chill time. I also love to play board games, cards, and puzzles!

RW: What makes you happy?
TE: My family. My friends. Having the freedom to travel. Chocolate.
RW: If you could travel now, where would you go and why?
TE: I would go to India because the culture fascinates me! Or New Zealand because the nature looks incredible! Don’t make me choose
RW: Finally, do you have any exciting upcoming projects you would like to share with us?
TE: I am currently working on a book. It’s going to be about love... Keep your eyes open! Xxx
RW: Thank you, Tarn!
