📦 Unwrap my new risograph prints with me! 🔗 Link in my bio if you’d like one for yourself (or to gift to a friend who needs it!) as a reminder that we need to feel all the big feelings in order to get through the darker times ☁️

These are both A4 prints, illustrated by me on the topic of hope and staying hopeful, now available on my shop. 

🌿 Plants don’t grow without rain - hope can’t bloom without tears.
💚 I’m starting to think gratitude for all that exists will see me through.
 
Which is your favourite? #asmr #unboxing #risograph #shopsmall

🪩🌿 Giving the @brianjordanalvarez marketing tactic a go to let you know that I have new riso prints up on my shop! These prints are reminders to lean in to our big feelings when the world feels heavy. 🔗 Link in my bio to grab yourself or a friend one!

Thank you for supporting my work (and my attempts at working the algorithm). I hope you like them 🎨 Printed on recycled paper by @risottostudio in Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🖼️ Some more from my postcard explorations (see more in previous Reel). Currently on display at @sixteengallery* alongside the vintage postcards a group designed during my recent workshop in the gallery space.

Watching the news at the moment makes this piece so much more poignant so I wanted it to live on my grid ❤️‍🩹

🖼️ There’s an exclusive 1/1 painting by me in @sixteengallery with some of the proceeds of the artworks going to local charities such as @chelt.refugees!

It was a lot of fun to bring my postcards to the @cheltfestivals Literature Festival this weekend and explore this idea a bit further. It’s certainly got me thinking of how to make it bigger and better than before. 

I hope you’re enjoying seeing this exploration of work 🥰

✍️ I finally made something I actually like and feel confident about after a long while of feeling the opposite.

📩 I shared the initial spark of an idea inspired by postcards a while ago which led to me playing around with these. It also led to me creating a workshop that will be happening on Saturday, 5th October as part of the @cheltfestivals Literature Festival at @sixteengallery! [ad/event]

If you’re in or near to Cheltenham and fancy popping in to say hello and create some postcards of your own then swing by! It’s free, from 6-7.30pm 🤗

I’ll be encouraging people to think about the places we love and what they mean to them through the lens of a changing climate.

🏚️ Under Water, Under Siege. 🌧️
 
✏️ 30•09•24 by me.

💭 Spending a lot of time thinking about all the different homes that are currently under water or under siege.

Ultimately, nobody is safe until we’re all safe - whether that’s from violence or the climate.
