About
Lina Noueiri
Hi, I'm Lina! I'm a British-Lebanese Artist / Illustrator / Printmaker who also happens to be a Part 2 qualified Architectural Assistant.
After ten years of studying and working in Architecture I shifted focus to become a freelance Artist, building my business to create and share art as a freelance, self-employed artist.
My artistic practice focuses on paying attention to themes of human connection and identity, frequently shown in the form of sharing food together and characterful interiors that tell a story of its inhabitants.
Selling at markets is one of my favourite parts of the job because I love connecting with people over creativity and small moments of joy.
I’m always exploring subjects, medium, and techniques in art. This constant learning is what keeps my drive strong and helps me develop my skills year by year.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me regarding commissions, wholesale orders, or project proposals of any kind.

Lina Nou Studio
Lina Nou Studio is the name given my my business where my products are fully made by me, from the original artwork to the final packaged product.
Through Lina Nou Studio I uphold the value accessibility in my work. By scanning or photographing my art to create more affordable giclee prints and cards, I am upholding my belief that artwork should not be unaffordable and inaccessible to a large group of people.
Through the printing and packaging of my products I also uphold the value of sustainability. I source all my papers and packaging from companies that are in the UK and (to the best of my understanding) are independent businesses.
The paper for the prints is of the highest quality, and everything that isn't the paper being printed on or painted on is either made of recycled paper or is a compostable clear material that looks like plastic but can be put in your food waste caddy with food scraps!
