The Shakespeare Hotel – Stratford-Upon-Avon

This is the Shakespeare Hotel in Stratford-Upon-Avon project from design to completion.

The client wanted the handwriting of William Shakespeare to be enlarged and hand painted onto the wall in the large reception area of the hotel. The hotel was being modernised so the artwork had to have a modern edge whilst still looking traditional.

Below is an image of an original document hand written by William Shakespeare (held at the British Library).  This is what we worked from.

Below is the design to scale to show how the enlarged document would look over all 3 walls.

Below is a canvas sample we produced for the client to show the different colour options as well as how the overall piece would look.

This is the finished artwork hand painted over all 3 walls.  Hand painted with Dulux paint and then using a rag technique, we distressed the artwork to add an aged parchment effect.

Cinderella

One lucky girl will be receiving her hand drawn Cinderella illustrations tomorrow!! I'm so excited to see her little face when she receives them! Each illustration was hand drawn in coloured pencil and then clear glitter was added to show the magic!  The artwork was then framed in a white frame.

Noah's Ark

 

 I had a lovely time painting this (1mx1m) canvas.  I think it's a brilliant ideas to have 'Noah's Ark' for a children's room.  It means the child can get to know their animals, colours and it helps to develop their imagination.  It took me 3 days to paint and I loved ever moment!!
The panda's were added in as it's the child's favourite animal.

Threadless Totoro Dreamworld

It's time to start voting!! Please vote for my 'Totoro dreamworld' design, for a chance for it to get printed:) I have 1 day left to make it happen! https://www.threadless.com/designs/totoro-deamworld-2

Inspired by a friend who has a love of everything Japanese. I decided to paint one of the worlds most loved Japanese cartoon characters 'Totoro', paired with one of the worlds most well known Japanese works of art 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa'. I wanted to create a dream like painting, combining the two pieces and creating one full of magic and adventure. To create this, I painted the background, waves and Totoro all separately. I then cut out (by hand) each design and then glued the piece together.. so old school!!

‘Artistic Touch’ is featured in the ‘London Evening Standard’

The Winnie-The-Pooh bedroom and en-suite I painted over Christmas is featured in the ‘London Evening standard! The article is about Viki and Mike Lander who bought a boring 70′s house and their journey into turning it into an incredible home. Viki approached me to help turn her idea into reality, to turn her child’s room into something spectacular!

Here is the finished product. The Winnie-the-pooh theme runs right across all three walls, framed around a tent bed. Also I hand painted cabinet doors for the en-suite bathroom, which were then varnished to protect against any moisture. To finish off I scattered little bumblebees everywhere! The client was so pleased.
