This is a drawing from one of my sketchbooks looking at tribal body decoration. This woman is from the Nuba tribe in Sudan. The decoration on her chest is scarification; a long and painful process that involves incising the skin…
I’ve spent the last couple of weeks working on new designs for my debut collection of knitted home accessories; cushions, blankets and throws. My colour scheme and patterns are evolving and I’m loving the results. Here’s a sneak peek at…
On the train home from London I watched the sun setting and managed to capture this photo as we raced through the countryside. I love how the trees have blurred into the sky creating a grainy pattern.
Inspired by the Indian screens I’ve been sketching at the V&A, I decided to look back through my hundreds, actually thousands, of travel photos I took whilst in India back in 2008. I knew I was going to find a…
I can’t keep myself away from the V&A at the moment. I found myself sketching in the same area of the museum as last weekend. I’m loving the geometric patterns in these Indian screens.
Another Sunday afternoon sketching in the V&A Museum. This time I was drawn to a display of Indian screens carved out of sandstone and marble. They reminded me of my trip to India I did a few years ago. Sure…
I could spend hours sketching in the Victoria and Albert Museum, so I’m making the most of it whilst I’m in London for a few weeks for some freelance work. Today I was looking for all things Art Deco and ended…
Feeling inspired after visiting the Tim Walker “Story Teller” exhibition at Somerset House. I loved this image, as well as many others. Don’t miss seeing it!
A couple of sketches of the glass domed roof in Galleries La Fayette, Paris. Remember to look up!
I just found a sketch I did whilst in New Orleans last June and thought I’d share it with you.
Here are a couple of sketches I did whilst in Madrid.
I just spent a few days in Madrid and was inspired by the colours and patterns of these walls!
I’m having a sketching day and thought I’d sketch a few interiors that I love. My cushions would look great in these rooms!
Here’s a selection of some of the designs I’m currently working on. Early stages at the moment, so they might evolve into something completely different!
One of my favourite sketchbooks is based on tribal body decoration. This is a painting I did of a Nuba tribesman from Sudan. I love the geometric patterns and soft pastel colours with the dark contrast and hint of ember.
I’ve had to make the hard decision to leave London and move back up north to my parents. It looks like setting up your own business is full of sacrifices! Hopefully it will all be worth it in the end….
