MY DESIGN BACKGROUND
My love of design and creativity comes from growing up in a family of talented designers and being surrounded by beautiful textiles and creative conceptual artwork all my life.
After graduating from Art School in London in 1990 I specialised in high-end packaging design for over 15 years working for clients such as United Distillers (now Diageo), Crabtree & Evelyn, Highgrove (HRH Prince Charles), Fortnum & Mason’s and Marks & Spencers. The companies were Butcher & Gundersen, Peter Windett & Associates, M&S and Ian Logan Design.
During this time I developed a love for colour, typography, illustration and detailed artwork which I have now put to use with my new design venture as a mixed media/digital artist. My design background comes through in the way that I work, as I plan and multilayer each piece with a huge amount of intricate detail.
HOW I CREATE MY WORK
I create my artworks using my learned graphic design, illustration and photography skills and use all of my own imagery. I photograph buildings, objects, textiles, ribbons and curated vintage props from my own collections, add in a dash of illustration and pattern, and sometimes little vintage imagery.
