Priyadarshini Das Sharma - known as Priya - is an illustrator and surface pattern designer based in a small town in South India, working under the studio name Anthea Designs. Represented by licensing agency Brenda Manley Designs, her practice centres on licensing-oriented surface pattern design with a whimsical, cottagecore aesthetic and a strong botanical orientation.

Priya describes her work as "bold, vibrant art with a modern-vintage, cottagecore vibe." The portfolio features vibrant, illustrative botanical compositions with a warm, hand-rendered quality. Inspiration is drawn from her garden and her collection of Indian sarees - visible in the richness and layering of her botanical motifs. The aesthetic bridges cottagecore warmth with a retro decorative sensibility.

Works digitally and with coloured pencils, supporting a hand-drawn aesthetic within production-ready output. Portfolio is structured around florals, greeting cards, holiday, and novelty categories - standard licensing-facing organisation.

Self-taught path into SPD; now represented by an established licensing agency.
