Bournville, Reykjavik and Orsay Christmas Cards available now!

My Christmas Shop is now open at etsy here.

New designs include Bournville Green, featuring the Rest House, Carillon and carol singers on the Green.

I challenged myself to produce a panoramic illustration encapsulating the magic of Reykjavik.

The back of the design is a collection of spot illustrations including charming characters and the illuminated graveyard in Iceland.

The Orsay Museum once was a train station constructed for the turn of the century. Gare d'Orsay reimagines the 1900-set train station against a Parisian backdrop.

Bear painting at St Francis, 18-19th May 2017 :)

I spent 2 days at St Francis Church of England Primary School, meeting all the children from nursery up to Year 6 and they all painted onto their bear.

The bear has been christened Fioretti, Italian for 'Little Flowers' and also the title of a book on the life of St Francis, a friar and lover of nature.

This is such a lovely opportunity to encourage children's contribution and love of the arts. I met so many pupils who said they loved drawing and painting and that their parents were artists too.

I had keen pupils submitting their ideas for bears too, including Fred Francis, named after the big red bus in their school field.

In keeping with St Francis' love of nature, in the centre of the school is the quad, where 8 ducklings are being nurtured :)
