Welcome to my creative workspace - my desk is situated in my home studio in the English Cotswolds. Reading materials are always in abundance here - I’m currently working through The Artist’s Way (highly recommend) and also re-reading Haute Bohemians. The Golden Thread is another fascinating read that I’m devouring.
My desk is presently covered in sketches and drawings of trees and greenery which I’m working on turning into a wallpaper collection
I have some interior illustrations strewn about as well - these are a great way for me to illustrate my thoughts and play with my fabrics, especially during lockdown as we haven’t been able to do any photoshoots!
Samples of my latest block prints too! The new textile collection should be being released in a few months. This is a sneak peek of just one of the several new patterns.
Journaling is a near-daily practice for me, and also part of The Artist’s Way. You may get a laugh over my entry on the first day of quarantine, but since then so much creativity has flown from my journaling and as a result of the slower pace of things during the global pandemic.
