Happy Teacher's Day to fellow educators out there! For the first time today, pre-school teachers get a day off too!

It's been almost 8 years teaching art freelance. Through these years I had the opportunity to share my knowledge and make art with people of all ages- in studios, classrooms and house calls too. It can get mentally exhausting doing lesson plans, teaching itself. Nonetheless I have no regrets. Being a creative person myself, making art with children especially has broaden my perspective. I am intrigued at how effortless and fearless they can be. A few years ago I went through a creative rut. I just couldn't paint at all. I didn't know what to paint. That was quite worrying for a practising artist. Thankfully I got over it. It's these kids who inspired me to pick up my brush again. There's just something about their quirks and charming character that is portrayed in their art- the colours they chose, their brush strokes and attention to details. Here's a selection of artworks done by my students.

Till then,

We're launching the full Nautical Street campaign together with a spanking new website early next week! As most of you would have already know, it took awhile to finase the prints for this collection. Now that everything is ready, let's take a look at some sketches, prints that didn't make it and the final prints used for Nautical Street!

Before we even started on producing designs for nautical theme collection, we did some research and got even more inspired to work on this. So here's a little throwback on how nautical theme became popularised.

Did you know....

1) It was Queen Victoria who inspired the nautical trend in the 18th century. She had a child’s sailor uniform made on board the royal yacht for her son Albert Edward, Prince of Wales. People were very influenced back then, so everyone at the countryside wanted their child to dress in a sailor uniform.
