Unity Coombes

Unity Coombes is an artist from West Devon. With a love for ceramics and colour, she makes playful paintings of the things she collects and adores. Animals and birds often take centre stage in the work, complemented by lively patterns she designs herself.

Unity worked at the Ashmolean museum for over a decade caring for the kinds of beautiful objects she now includes in her paintings. These treasures are carefully curated into charming and amusing compositions.
