Time to wake up from the winter sleep and play!

I have been hibernating for a while but now I am slowly coming back to life!

For me it has always been important to play and experiment, I never wanted to work in just one way and in one style - I find that quite unchallenging and boring and want to develop and try new things.

Currently I am getting bits and pieces together, running around London with my camera and has started to play with my ideas for a new print and pattern collection, this time I will work with mixed media and graphics.

I like to work with collage now and then as it's a very different way of working and feels more free and less controlled then drawing and I can get some use of my love for photography.

Let's see how it goes.

Hello there...

I am working on a few new, fun projects and thought I'd share some work in progress here on the blog. The black stripes with the black rabbit is in its simplicity slowly growing to a favourite of mine;



I will show the final project and the final prints in a few weeks time when its all finished, here's another sneaky rabbit until then!

Lately I have been working on a new pattern collection and now I just finished it and is celebrating with a nice cup of tea and thought I'd share a little sneak peek from the new collection with you, so here is two of my new patterns, Mint and Gold, what do you think?

I have always enjoyed working with graphic shapes and photography so this time I thought that I would base the new collection around that and plunge into it, and as a child of the 80's I wanted to go back to the 80's colour palette with pastel pinks and bubblegum colours. I like the contrast between sterile and controlled graphics and black and white photography of real living animals.


PS. There's a short interview with me regarding my latest projects in Lemonade Magazine 04, to read the interview click here
