Testimonials

  • I have had the opportunity to work with Claudine on a number of art projects while at Derwent, from packaging commissions to social media collaborations. Each and every time I have worked with Claudine I have found her to be incredibly professional, creative, able to nail any brief and always push boundaries. Not only have I personally been very impressed with Claudine’s output and professionalism but so has the wider team. Thank you, Claudine – looking forward to working on our next project together!

  • We’ve been lucky enough to work with Claudine on her exceptional illustration for the Jameson Global Limited Edition Bottle. We commission illustrators a lot but sometimes you just hit the jackpot. Claudine has the perfect mix of ‘Great to work with’, business savvy acumen, efficiency on delivery and complete and utter skill, all under the banner of being an amazing illustrator with one of the freshest styles in the market right now. The success of the global sales are a testimony to that with thousands of people giving it the ultimate vote with their wallets. All of this added together makes Claudine someone that anyone would be lucky to work with.

  • We’ve had the good fortune of working with the incredibly skilled Claudine O’Sullivan, who has been creating striking commissions for Procreate since 2017. As a client, we have found Claudine delightful to work with. She is skilled at interpreting a creative brief, always delivers excellent work on time and within budget, and is positive and proactive about the development process. Showcasing her deep passion for living creatures and the natural world, Claudine’s work is developed and delivered with great care and forethought. We’re deeply proud to have worked with her over the past few years, and excited to see what she’ll create in the years to come.

  • Safe to say we are big fans of Claudine O’Sullivan, not only is she a brilliant Illustrator but also an exemplary member of the AOI. It’s been a privilege to work closely with her on negotiating contracts for a number of her career defining jobs to date. Her strong sense of self worth and confidence in her craft and business is inspiring not only to us but also her fellow Illustrators. So much so that we’ve had her as guest speaker on 2 of our Creating Your Own Success panel discussions, including one at OFFSET 2018 in Dublin. The quality, colour and imagination in her illustration is undeniable. Her work has been shortlisted for the World Illustration Awards in 2018 and won in 2017. In just a few short years Claudine has made a considerable contribution to the Illustration industry and our community. She’s a joy to work with and we can’t wait to see what’s next for her!

  • I felt the session was absolutely brilliant and Claudine did such a great job of breaking it down - making it inspirational, educational, creative and accessible. Ticks all the boxes! Claudine is such a good workshop host and her presentation and delivery was exceptional.

  • It was a pleasure developing this course on Botanical Illustration at the RA with Claudine. Organising this course with Claudine was a dream as she is such a passionate and reliable artist and tutor. Both her work and her teaching are full of confidence and skill and it’s been a joy seeing her teach. Over the weekend, she did a fantastic job keeping every participant engaged and motivated and as a result everyone produced phenomenal final works!
