hand-painted patterns
All my work starts by hand. I paint on Arches Paper using Kuretake Gansai Tambi and White Nights Watercolours.
it’s all about colour
I paint in carefully chosen on-trend colours that speak to me. Usually I see a pattern in my mind and it’s all about the colour relationships.
how i work
i paint intuitively, without sketching first
Occasionally I do a thumbnail sketch to work out composition or colour ideas, but most of the time I just dive in. I believe in drawing without fear.
paint to pattern
preparing industry-ready files
Once the painting is finished, I scan and edit the art into seamless pattern repeats and multiple colourways.
