Some of you may know, but I trained in Surface Pattern Design in Swansea, graduating in 2008. I have always had a passion for colour and pattern, an as much as I love birds, I have felt a pang of nostalgia for the colours and patterns I used to draw. The natural, organic world will always have my heart, but I do love building compositions and collections of objects. My latest body of work incorporates both loves and I feel like I am bringing more of me to my work. Friends have often commented on the bric-a-brac in my home, none of it particularly expensive, but each with a story. They remark how my home is very “me” and I feel like that this is what I wanted to bring to these pieces - a reflection of how I build my spaces, and what makes a house my home. Of course there are still some feathered friends interspersed in this collection, and I look forward to bringing more natural forms to the collection, as the Summer progresses.
