From sea to studio

Some of you might know of my maritime background. I’ve always been fascinated by anything to do with sea. I love sailing, I used to work on cargo ships and really enjoyed it. I was definitely in my element, in the right place for me and still I think I have not quite finished with my sea adventure, although the maritime world is changing and more and more of the old romance becomes the thing of the past.

I felt a need to create a pattern collection in maritime theme as a tribute to my past and because I can’t honestly say I am pouring my soul into my work without it being a little bit salty.

Also boats and ships used to be my favourite things to draw after florals.

So here it is, my new collection

Imagine waking up rested and energised in warm sunlight. The window is open and a light breeze brings inside a fresh scent of flowers and the sound of birds singing. Your coffee is ready and your head fills with happy thoughts. No need to rush anywhere, just enjoy this good morning.


Calm and fresh

Warm and sweet

Deep greens of all shades

In my garden I admire all those little weeds, normally so annoying, the ivy taking over the fence every time I stop removing it, the little leaves poking out between the paving slabs. I see them as a sign of the strength of nature.

My latest pattern collection is all about the triumph of plants and their secret ways, the not quite perfectly manicured gardens where the plants show their will to grow.

Hello!

I’m really excited to share with you that I have recently been busy developing my skills at Bonnie Christine’s amazing Immersion course. As a result I am working on my first vectorised collection of patterns, that you will soon be able to see on my website.

For now I will just say it’s all about the secret world of a little girl, dedicated to and based on my daughter’s play themes and imagination. You will see sweet pastel colours and fantasy creatures.

Don’t forget to sign up for the newsletter if you would like to be one of the first to see it!
