Hello! We are Good Wives and Warriors. GWAW is the creative partnership of Becky Bolton and Louise Chappell, who met while studying at the 
Glasgow School of Art. Rebecca means ‘good wife’ and Louise means ‘warrior’, and together we create weird and wonderful illustrations and sprawl-
ing wall paintings. We have participated in exhibitions in Europe, the USA, South America and Australia, and we continue to work on illustrations using 
our experimental collaborative approach. We are currently based in London.
