• In a World of Stereotyping and Genderisation…
  Why are we so often scrutinised, categorised and put in a box with a label on it? 'Girls like pink and Boys like blue!' - that's just the way it goes!!

  Well, I like blue too, and I ride bikes, snowboard, like pirates and skull and crossbones as well as flowers of course… but I don't like glitter!!!!

  We absorb an abundance of visual stimuli everyday - signs, notices, adverts, objects, people, TV, etc. My aim is to use an eclectic mix of randomly chosen imagery to create clean, bold graphic prints for interior spaces and furnishings, injecting a sense of humour and fun, which in turn appeal to both sexes. Commissions, freelance and full-time employment all welcomed.
