I'm Ellie - the woman behind the parasol! I started Painted Parasol in 2021 whilst recovering from a head injury. Drawing joyful cards became a wonderful outlet for me at a difficult time. Now, years later, I'm incredibly proud that my cute cards for kids and adults are stocked in wonderful independent shops throughout the UK, all the way from Orkney to the Isle of Wight. All creations are direct from my brain and hand, with no AI here
