Mahonia
"Mahonia", black Indian ink on cartridge paper, 22 x 27.5cm (framed)
My collection of ink paintings draw inspiration from the rich heritage of craft movements - from the whimsical wall papers of William Morris to the lush botanical frescoes in Florence and Venice. Originally conceived as designs for a new series of japanned and gilded artworks, these works soon evolved into standalone pieces referencing the flora and fauna native to Britain. They are a dialogue between the past and present, blending traditional design with a modern romantic vision.
