Birds & Foliage

Design inspired by my garden coming to life in Spring. The composition is influenced from research into William Morris. I have focused on creating depth with layers and mark making.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are one of my favourite vegetables to grow, and the plants themselves are beautiful. The individual illustration also features on my Garden Vegetables tea towel design.

This pattern design is inspired by the carrots grown in my vegetable patch. I love how long and bushy their leaves get! The individual illustration also features on my Garden Vegetables tea towel design.

Beetroot

Beetroot have the most incredible colours, and it was an absolute joy to illustrate and create a pattern. I particularly like their big leaves, which have beautiful details. The individual illustration also features on my Garden Vegetables tea towel design.

Bentley Wood

This Surface pattern design is inspired by the relationship of woodland creatures with their environment. The woodland animals are created with gouache combined with ink stamp details. The yellow marks are also created by hand, using ink stamps and gouache. My intention with this mark making was to suggest and create movement that relates to the activity of the animals.
