Growing Together

G R O W I N G ✨ T O G E T H E R

Today we’re thinking about the importance of creative partnerships.

We believe good representation is about more than finding opportunities for our artists and managing the complexity of licensing contracts. It's about building long-term relationships, nurturing creative growth, being intentional, pro-active, and making sure every artist feels valued, encouraged, and championed.

Our lovely artist Iona Skye Howie recently shared some reflections on her experience of collaborating with us. Iona is a Montréal-based Canadian illustrator and surface designer with a foundation in traditional oil painting. With a passion for pattern design and the intersection of illustration with home and lifestyle goods, Iona works both digitally and traditionally with gouache. She finds inspiration in both Medieval Manuscript Illumination and the Arts and Crafts movement.

“Working with Jehane and the Jehane Ltd family has been a pleasure and a privilege. I feel genuinely supported to grow and explore in my artwork, with Jehane always there to offer guidance and encouragement. I'm thrilled by what we've accomplished together and excited by the opportunities that lie ahead. Jehane’s passionate advocacy for her artists, and her commitment to high-quality, human-made artwork, give me great confidence and security in an ever-changing industry. Combined with her warmth and humour, and the lovely team she has brought together, I feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Jehane family.”

Iona’s feedback means a great deal to us, and championing our artists is at the heart of everything we do.

We're passionate about the imagination, skill and humanity behind illustration, and believe in creating an environment where artists can feel confident and secure to explore and flourish. We're hugely excited to see Iona’s creative journey developing with her exclusive collection for Flame Tree Publishing launching in January 2027.

As this collection shows Iona delights in depicting stylized flora and fauna richly imbued with colour, texture and fine detail.

Iona Skye Howie is available to commission at Jehane Ltd.

Building a career as an illustrator is about so much more than making beautiful work. It's about developing your creative voice, discovering new opportunities, and feeling confident to follow your own path.

We're incredibly proud of the artists we represent and grateful for the trust they place in us. Being part of their individual journeys, sharing in their achievements, and growing together is the most rewarding aspect of our work.
