New work inspired by vintage lace
My grandmother, who lives in CapeTown, sends me the most wonderful parcels in the post. The latest one contained a vintage children's book and a few beautiful old lace collars. They are so pretty and delicate, apparently they were a status symbol - the more intricate your lace collars the more wealth you had. The lace inspired me to do some intricate line drawings which I then worked into a design for a print. I also had a flurry of pink and red paint in my studio and came up with this new work - inspired by indian wooden blocks, peonies and vintage floral patterns. These are all available in our etsy shop.

I just came across your website and blog on Design Sponge. You are the first illustrator/artist in a VERY long time who truly inspires me. I am officially a fan.
I'm also an illustrator/graphic designer based in Cape Town. If you ever come this way again, please let's meet up.
