Lydia Caprani

Graphic artist based in Hull, UK. 

Inspired by folk art, she is interested in decoration being applied to all; stemming from a personal conviction that societies have always used visual forms to express cultural identity, 
communicate and create. Far from just being surface or superficial, decoration
is deeply rooted in folk traditions. 

 

Through pattern, type and decorative interventions,

she explores these ethnographic themes with people and spaces. Additionally, she works on projects as a community artist and graphic designer through pseudonym Studio Capri. Lydia is currently in post as Creative Designer for Leeds Museums & Galleries, leading brand development and design for the largest local authority run museum service
in England.
