Pacific Northwest Tour: Seattle, Washington
I took the bus from Vancouver BC across the border to Seattle, Washington. It rained, it was dark, I didn’t see a thing. The following day the rain stopped and I found my way around the city, discovering places I’d read about: the wonderful food and craft market at Pike Place and the historic Pioneer Square.
Pacific Northwest Tour: Vancouver BC
Last week I took a plane, train and automobile to get from Devon, England to Vancouver BC on the west coast of Canada
Celebrating Trees Around The World
As we begin to think about decorating our homes for Christmas, central to this vision of festivity and fun is a tree.
Here's Home
Two and a half years ago I moved from Yorkshire to Devon with my partner John and two cats in tow. The move was prompted by a desire to live by the sea and the realisation that the North Sea off the Yorkshire Coast was just a little too cold for comfort.
I sold my eco-bag business in Sheffield, licensed my giftware brand to Judge Sampson in Hastings and set out life as an illustrator for hire and map maker extraordinaire!
A Long Weekend in Malaga
Last weekend I took an autumn city break to Malaga. It’s quicker for me to fly to Spain from my home in Devon then it is to get the train to London … and almost as cheap, so spending a long weekend in one of Europe’s iconic cities is not a difficult undertaking :-)
Super Southwell Minster
Last week I met up with my sister who was over from Canada and we took a trip to the lovely, little market town of Southwell, which is near to where we grew up.
London Calling
It’s show time again, which means that I and or my illustrated giftware head off for different parts of the world and present ourselves to retail buyers from every corner of the globe.
Two Hours in Chicago
Earlier this month I travelled to Chicago from Toronto for a business meeting with a potential licensee and found myself with 2 hours to spare after flesh had been pressed and deals done and won.
A Pioneering Cityscape in Canada
Last week I created my first Live Cityscape at the wonderful Black Creek Pioneering Village in Toronto. I had visited this open-air, historical museum a few years ago
Getting Creative in Cornwall
This weekend I went to Cornwall, armed with a large canvas, paints, brushes and my easel. Super stockist of my Cityscape canvas tote bags: Weird Fish,
My New Studio
For the past two years I have been creating my Cityscape artwork out of a tiny, back bedroom. It’s even more cramped when my cats Bibi and Bobby decide to come in and share the space with me,
Vive Le France
France is getting ready to celebrate its national day of independence: Bastille Day on 14th July. Over the last year I’ve been celebrating Gallic culture and iconic French landmarks
