Studio Jay

Studio Jay, the home of custom portraits, unique art prints, cute stickers and various other stationery items, all hand illustrated by owner and designer Radha Reidy. Currently the most popular pieces are Radha's "Landscape" series, depicting popular New Zealand hot spots, illustrated from Radha's personal photographs!

With an extremely artistic family behind her, Radha's biggest passion has been turning ideas and projects into works of art since she was very young. She has dabbled in many creative outlets - puppetry, sewing, scrapbooking, pottery, embroidery, henna designs, jewellery making, stamping, graphic design, illustrating and many more. As a busy mum of three, she finds illustrating the most practical and relaxing to squeeze into her daily life.

Radha's current goal is to illustrate as many New Zealand hot spots as she can - both the famous and hidden gems. This means more travel around New Zealand, as each piece is based on her own personal photographs.

When Radha isn't illustrating in her sketchbook or ipad, she works full time as a graphic designer, while simultaneously running a few side hustles and passion projects to fill her creative cup. In her downtime, Radha is a keen hiker, and you'll often find her walking trails through NZ back country, or camping/caravanning beside her favourite South Island lakes.
