3 new things I learned in 2019

At the beginning of 2020 I took some moments to look back at last year and realised what a year it has been in terms of learning. Besides my usual hustle-and-bustle of designing prints and patterns, I made sure to try new things. And it wasn’t really that I had to make sure – the… Read More

Albania Sketchbook

Hello from Tirana, the capital of the country the Albanians themselves call Shqipëria! We are starting our summer trip around the country in this laid-back and more-modern-than-one-would-think city and get a first taste of the feel, food, people – and scenery.

I loved seeing nature further unfold in May and June for the second part of the project and tried a couple of new techniques. Hand painted watercolour was my go-to-technique, but I also tried tighter illustration styles and some… Read More

Print Collaboration with Happycloth

What makes them furthermore special is that the company decided to sell each scarf with… Read More

Philodendron Love

Call it Philodendron, Monstera, Split Leaf or Swiss cheese plant – I simply can’t get enough of this tropical plant. And I was happy seeing them during our holiday on Lanzarote abound. I photographed them, I drew them, I painted them – and turned them into patterns, of course. These patterns are now available for… Read More

The last pages in my main sketchbook. I have been The last pages in my main sketchbook.

I have been going through quite an abstract/spiritual phase for the last months and didn’t show that body of work here (but might in the future, I have something planned 😉).

An unsuccessful client commission brought me back to loose florals recently and I enjoyed all that was blooming in April and May - cherry blossoms, irises, poppies, peonies. 

And as it is - out with the old, in with new - I started a new sketchbook straight away.

I love that the prints show the broad range of materials I work with - watercolour, acrylics, paint markers, digital painting on the iPad, Photoshop and vector Illustrator prints.

Thank you to all my clients for supporting independent designers like me 🌸😊🌸

Three weeks ago I was dreaming loudly about the fi Three weeks ago I was dreaming loudly about the first poppies of the season here on Instagram. And last week I saw the first Spanish poppies blooming on the way back home from the supermarket, which then took me by surprise. But hey, it‘s May!

Back home I took out my paintbrush and put the artwork in repeat today - and now it’s uploaded and ready for licensing via my @patternbank account. To more poppies to come 💫
