Power Flower!

At fitness studios,floral prints are in full bloom!I love the hydrangea plant and up and coming Australian brand The Upside have designed a vibrant floral Hydrangea Prana Pant.

My favourite hydrangea of the moment is the Serrata. Hydrangea Serrata is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeacea, native to mountainous regions of Korea and Japan. Common names include mountain hydrangea and tea of heaven!

I have been using this plant as inspiration for my fashion print designs after discovering it in Cornwall growing in Ben's garden and where I spend many special days drawing and painting.


Flowers are blossoming everywhere in the gym!
I love Markus Lupfer's Floral Track Pants...

And Adam Lippes silk track pant is beautifully subtle...

Pack Of Cards

Here is my new business card - I am fussy about fonts! There are thousands of different typefaces in existence, with new ones being developed constantly. Thank you to Benge for finding the designer font I used for my name. The other font I used is one of my favourites,Futura which is described as having an appearance of efficiency and forwardness! Futura is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed in 1927 by Paul Renner and is based on geometric shapes that became representative of visual elements of the Bauhaus design style of 1919–33.

Futura was commercially released in 1936 and in 2014 it is still being widely used and admired.

Flower Girl

I love flowers. I love drawing flowers. I love the garden this flower grows in.

Inspired Selection

My inspiration




Spring/Summer 2014 flowers growing wild and carefree in this ethereal garden giving me inspiration to hand-paint a collection of delicate and light paintings drawn in a way that seems not to be of this world.....just like this garden.

The Garden Is Creeping Indoors.....

I adore this interior featured this month in Living Etc, July issue.
Lush foliage blended with luxe textiles.
