Founded in 2017 by twin artists, ‘Ink Genius’ Stella and ‘Colour Queen’ Gemma, the twins create striking artwork and homeware for contemporary homes. Their ‘Two Faced Twins’ brand has become well-known throughout the Sussex region, building a popular local following.
Their inspiration came when Gemma was walking home from her office job one day and suddenly had an epiphany. She realised she couldn’t carry on living for weekends and bank holidays. During a long discussion with Stella that evening, the twins considered many business ideas they could do together – pancake makers, sandwich makers, YouTubers etc and finally, they came up with the idea of using their individual talents to become twin artists. As soon as Stella suggested this idea, the twins recognised a niche market, they just knew it was going to work. Very quickly, Two Faced Twins was born, and the pair set about building this exciting, vibrant new brand.
As an illustrator who graduated from Northbrook university in 2012, Stella has always worked exclusively in black and white, creating detailed scenes of her surroundings.
Gemma is a Textile Designer and Artist who attended Northbrook that same year as Stella. Striking colour, eclectic pattern and eccentric imagery are her forte.
Working from their studio on the Sussex coast, the twins collaborate on each piece of artwork. Stella creates their initial illustrations and Gemma works on them digitally, manipulating them and adding colour. Inspired by street scenery and architecture, featuring local scenes and vibrant colours, they sell their work online and in their busy seafront gallery in Worthing, West Sussex.
Stella
“I’m Stella, illustrator and Ink Genius of Two Faced Twins. I use fine liner pens to create our detailed illustrations. My main inspirations are street scenery and architecture, especially Art Deco. I love to capture the atmosphere in my line drawings.
My typical day is sitting in a coffee shop drinking hot chocolate, headphones in, a pen in my hand and a stack of sketchbooks next to me as I’m scribbling away!”
Gemma
“I’m Gemma, Colour Queen of Two Faced Twins. I work on the colour and digital manipulation, transforming each illustration into a striking interior design piece for the modern, contemporary home.
You’ll usually find me in our office, transfixed to the computer screen adding colour to our artwork, or in the studio sampling colours for upcoming artwork.”
