The Coastal Collection
Inspired by the textures and colours of the seaside, these pieces are developed from unique designs in the 'Coastal' sketchbook collection. From original photographs taken at low tide on fabulous beaches in the UK, to experiments with print and paper cuts in the studio, this collection is a real celebration of all things coastal.
This range started as a delicate paper cut from the 'Layers' sketchbook collection. Artichokes have tender hearts and represent hope, peace and prosperity so are the perfect emblem to welcome into your home!
Originating from an ink drawing of sea anenomes from the 'Marine Life' sketchbook collection, this range is printed on a linen mix fabric in shades of blush and sage and currently available as cushions and lampshades.
Thinking back to my school days and Needlework makes me reflect on how important Textiles and Sewing have been in my life, from stitched felt egg cosies at primary school to making ball gowns and taking in jeans for friends, I'm sure that I can actually document my whole life by different sewing projects!
Whenever I have the chance to decompress and visit the coast I always find that my creative batteries get recharged and I am brimming with ideas. A previous visit to Cornwall was no exception and I felt inspired to try and recreate the coastal landscapes I had seen using mixed media.
Visiting the coast can help to trigger creativity and this in turn helps to boost our general sense of wellbeing. Doodling can be very cathartic – do away with being self-critical this is a time for not overthinking, just see where the creativity takes you!
