The Grand Budapest Hotel. One of my favourite movies; a work of art and ingenuity.

Josef Alber’s Interaction of Colour: A masterwork. Painting helps me understand which pigments are used in which colours. Colour is a mystery. It’s subjective without truth or science. It can evoke memory and create references. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtNh8rHl87k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1045naoq6ycaa

Living Coral: @pantone Colour of the year 2019. I worked on porcelain glazes and colour palette for @midoricollective. Coral embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrPysx4BCGo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1202cpsb4sz94

Living, Breathing Coral: Was I ecstatic to find out @pantone Colour of the Year 2019 is Coral. I always try to find an excuse to use this colour in my work and associate with the warmth and vibrancy of the hue. It’s like a visual sugar rush I can’t stop indulging in. 💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrCrHEXB71W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lr07ube1st0h

Hello Instagram Some of you may have noticed that I’ve launched my online store @midoricollective (collectable and wearable art). It has always been my dream to translate my visual stories into tangible works of art. To break away from a world of digital chaos and have an appreciation of the real. Here is a process video of what started out to be a rough gouache floral abstract; manifested into a custom designed backing card for a set of three lapel pins. The french toast, fried egg and baguette breakfast pins are hand sculpted in porcelain, embellished with twenty-four carat gold and comes with a gold-toned clutch. To show my love and appreciation for all those who have stuck around, here is an exclusive discount code for my Instagram followers - use code: BREAKFAST at checkout. Snag these adorable pins to create your own unique narratives. Link in bio if you want to take a peek. 💌 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo0etknhXhN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jxn6fh5wavoc
