Liberty London

I adore shopping at Liberty’s London and so I was thrilled to be asked to collaborate with them to paint a tiger on to their Marlborough tote bags. 2022 is year of the tiger in China. The Tiger is associated with bravery, courage and strength.

I had so much fun painting this tiger onto 11 bags in January! It kept me very busy in the studio, with tigers all around me for company. I’m hoping I might get to spot one in the ‘wild’ one day soon…

And thank you to all the four legged customers who

And thank you to all the four legged customers who came to Marc Jacob’s yesterday. It was a super busy day and I loved painting your pooches (and 🐈‍⬛.) Thank you to @thedogvine for spreading the word! I’m back in next Saturday too and already have a few bookings.

The leather painting takes a little longer than my style portraits so please allow time for me to create for you.

I grew up in St Albans, had a long love affair with London and now find myself back here, raising my kids (after swearing I’d never return!) It’s changed loads, all for the better and is a much more creative and diverse town than it once was! Thanks for the write up Matt.

A few illustrations I made for a project set by Fida in collaboration with Missoni.
Out of my comfort zone as I never studied fashion, and thought I’d give it a try, lots to learn, and it was fascinating seeing other designers and illustrators work. Thanks for Beatrix Menendez for her time spent reviewing and feeding back on the work.

I was inspired by the Italian mountains and the cable cars 🚠 connecting them. It was a nice day dream in an otherwise completely bonkers busy March! I’ll be able to post some of the work very soon……. 🐝

So after a two week hiatus full of kids and Easter

So after a two week hiatus full of kids and Easter shenanigans I’ve enjoyed a jam packed two days @marcjacobs in-store painting onto Marc Jacob’s Totes.

Customers were encouraged to have me paint their pets or their initials. In there for the next two Saturdays 1-6pm painting away.

Get your pooch or pet immortalised on a Marc Jacob’s TOTE bag tomorrow. I’m in store from 1-6 pm, (Regent’s St) sitting pretty painting pets. Met some very well behaved pooches today and will show you some pictures as soon as those paws 🐾 sign them off! Woof.
