What began as a project in 2020 publishing people’s true stories has become so much more, but is still centred on empowering others to enjoy every day and change their lives.

I’m based in East Dorset, Solemniko has grown and morphed through the years from a side hustle, to a full-time business, to something more quiet and soft pottering along in the background. Specialising in pointillism portraiture and bespoke stationery, I now only offer items on a made-to-order basis with designs from her catalogue tailored to your unique requirements.

By day I work in public libraries and when I’m not in public libraries you can probably find me volunteering in one of the many historic rare book libraries in the area. But the rest of my time is spent exploring simple decadence; championing independents and enjoying the simple luxuries found in every day.

Solemniko is about living thoughtfully, authentically and purposefully in connection to our natural surroundings. Because the more we connect with the natural world, the better the connection with ourselves will be.
