Abstract Florals Continued...!

10/31/2019

My new “Jardin” print (on the right, with "Eden" on the left)! Not sure if you can tell how much fun it is to draw the abstract floral prints I’ve been creating lately, but you can check out the process at my Instagram page in my “Sketching” highlights if you like!

Ooooo...Chocolate!

10/27/2019

If you walked into a candy store, could you resist these chocolate bars wrapped in my Mexican-inspired “Bougainvillea”, “Sayulita” and “La Lancha” pattern designs??! Not me!!
Maybe they would have flavours like Mexican hot chocolate or cacao bean...These designs are available to license now, and not just for packaging! Contact me for more info!

"Modern Chintz"!

10/22/2019

Introducing my new floral pattern design called "Modern Chintz"! When designing this pattern, I was referencing those floral pattern designs of yesteryear worn by European nobility, but I'm certainly not intending this design to be quite like those old-fashioned florals. Rather, I designed this new pattern to be modern, fresh, fun and full of colour! I really see this as a wallpaper pattern, on bedding, or as some of you have suggested, on dresses! What do you see it on?!

Brand New and Available to License: "Free Spirits"

10/17/2019

My son saw my brand new butterfly pattern and said it was "trippy"! What do you think, is it trippy? Maybe not trippy enough??! I think I will call this one "Free Spirits", a nod to the free-spirited optimism of the psychedelic 60s! Let me know what you think! This design is now available to license and if you are interested to license it for your products, just contact me!

All-Blue Berries and Florals! Now Available to License!

10/15/2019

I do love an all-blue pattern design! My newest design (on the left) is called "Berry-luscious" and I designed it to accompany my "Three Little Birds" design which I posted about a few days ago. I envision these together for home decor (armchair with pillows? wallpaper?), on super fun giftware, for gorgeous apparel, or as the start of a fantastic fabric collection...Contact me if you are interested in licensing these designs for your products!

Brand New Pattern! "Three Little Birds"

10/10/2019

When I'm working in my studio I often get distracted by little movements in the bushes outside my windows, usually caused by cute little gorgeous birds...So this new design is me trying to capture them in pattern! If you would like to follow along with more of my recent work, I invite you to check out my Instagram!
