podcast interview

I recently had a conversation with André Zadorozny about mokuhanga, illustration and my career as an artist, for his podcast The Unfinished Print. You can listen to the whole interview here.

Exhibition in Palo Alto

I have two pieces in the exhibition ‘Memory Lane’ currently on show at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, California. The show runs for the whole of this month. More info here.

COPE and the UN

I am honoured to share that COPE, the children’s book series that I have been illustrating for several years, has been highlighted by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, during a recent visit to Tonga. Mr Guterres joined forces with the World Meteorological Organization and METService to raise awareness about the #StateofClimate and the critical need for #EarlyWarningsForAll, particularly in the Pacific Islands. On the frontline of #ClimateChange, these islands face immense challenges from natural hazards and disasters.

You can read more about the initiative with the WMO here.

Library of Congress

I’ve just found out that my UNITED poster is held in the archives of the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress is a research library in Washington, D.C., that serves as the library and research service of the U.S. Congress and is the de facto national library of the United States.

Rosewood HK products

The Rosewood Hotel in Hong Kong have just launched the two ceramic products I designed for them: a candle and coasters. They feature a blue and white and gold illustrated map of Kowloon with lots of Rosewood elements. You can order them online here.

mokuhanga conference + exhibition in Japan

I will be attending the International Mokuhanga Conference being held in Echizen, Japan in April this year.

I’ll be showing a selection of my printwork at the open studio being held on April 6th, and have had one of my small sculptural pieces chosen for the juried exhibition which will be held for the duration of the conference.

My newest mokuhanga print will be in the group exhibition being held by my collective Mokuhanga Sisters, celebrating washi paper and sumi ink. More info on that show to come…

Festive Fairs in Hong Kong

Faux, who produce all my ceramics in HK, will be taking part in several Festive Fairs and shopping events this winter. There’s one soon in Repulse Bay, and another at Jaa Bar in Central. They will also be at the two Prestige Fairs at the Conrad Hotel.

Hope you can make it, and stock up on lots of wonderful ceramics for the season. My festive sparkly mugs are a great gift!

Creativebug instagram takeover

I’ll be doing an instagram takeover on tuesday 5 September! Watch live as I sketch, show my current work set-up as I’m travelling, and hopefully do an ask-me-anything session about illustration, sketching and everything inbetween!
