Vintage Park

Last week I visited the York Sculpture Park in Wakefield. It is the UK's first open-air gallery established way back in 1977 and includes work from many modern and contemporary artists including my personal favourites Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth....and many others too - Sol Lewitt, Tracey Emin, Julian Opie, Martin Creed and Andy Goldsworthy....

I loved this place, it is really special and worth a visit. Exhibitions showing at the moment are Al Weiwei, Fiona Banner and Brooklyn based Ursula Von Rydingsvard - this is an example of her original and beautiful work.

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...
