About

Joyful art and products for independent spirits - that's what we're all about.

Hi, I'm Bryony Hall, the artist behind Kishi & Star. 

I create vibrant patterns and designs for creative souls who care about style, substance, and wearing a smile.

My journey started during the UK lockdowns of 2020. While others were perfecting sourdough recipes, I found myself drawn to the wild beauty of Epping Forest and the powerful waves of Polzeath, Cornwall. Nature became my teacher, my muse, and my reminder that even in uncertain times, there's always color, energy, and hope to be found.

That's where my art comes from – those moments of connection with the natural world. I channel the magnificent colors of sunrise over water, the intricate patterns of leaves, and the raw energy of ocean waves into designs that celebrate life, nature, and the independent spirit in all of us.

Why Eco-Friendly Matters

Every product I choose is selected with our planet in mind. Because when you're inspired by nature, protecting it isn't optional – it's essential. From t-shirts to tote bags to tablet cases, each piece carries both beautiful art and conscious choices.

What Does "Kishi & Star" Mean?

It's a bit mystical (and yes, a little cheesy), but Kishi & Star is really about balance and possibility.

Kishi is the Japanese word for ocean – my beloved stabilizer that keeps me present and energized in daily life. Star represents the endless possibilities of the future and all that I hope for. One grounding, the other reaching. The push and pull that keeps creativity flowing.

Dreamy, right? :)
