Interview with Lourdes Sanchez in Uppercase magazine


Uppercase Magazine Issue 13 is out and it's another beauty with a gorgeous cover by Eloise Renouf.
The issue also contains my interview with textile designer Lourdes Sanchez.

I visited Lourdes last May in her live/work space in Gowanus Brooklyn. I was blown away by her quirky + soulful studio - especially her massive inspiration board which covered the entire wall above her desk (made my sweet boyfriend Russell) and her comprehensive library of art books. I coulda spent all day in there curled up reading!!


Lourdes' beautiful inks and patterns

We spent a very fun day together which included a delicious burrito lunch + long stroll around her neighbourhood with her Havanese pooch Moonpie.
Some pics of our day together below.

yum.... Burritos.
Meeting Lourdes was a complete inspiration to me and am happy to say we are still very much in touch. :-)

News! Limited edition Tea towel for The Hudson's Bay


Last fall The Hudson's Bay commissioned 3 designers: Virginia Johnson, Bev Hisey + myself to create a tea towel for a limited edition series which will appear this Spring.

My design is similar to my Alphabet Legs print with the addition of some very citrusy flowers and a daschund (named Walter FYI!)

House + Home's Special Decorating issue (on stands now) features the article below on the colloboration.




The tea towels are made of a beautiful linen cloth woven in the U.K. by Ulster Weavers.


The towels will be available mid April for 14.95,
There'll only be 1000 available so get them fast!
Thanks so much to Arren Williams, Creative Director of Home at the Bay for organizing this collaboration.
