Kitch kitch kitch. That's what I'm all about. Cute, elaborate and floral is what describes me.

I love Fortnum and Mason packaging, the embossed gold and beautiful teal colour. I love the tradition of Afternoon Tea; gorgeously decorated cakes and delicate bone china. I love the Rococo movement, its OTT aesthetic and John Honore Fragonards 'The Swing'.

My influences have broadened in the last year. I am now interested in furnishings and interiors, the way placement has such an integral role in the design and feel of a room. I like the idea of working with walls and building up clusters of false flowers or charity shop plates with miniature paintings in gold frames on whitewash, and a high shine gloss on a white ceiling. For me, it's about bringing tradition into modernity.
