I remember dreaming of starting a T-Shirt design company full of witty slogans but now that I’m a little older and let’s pretend, wiser I‘ve moved to put my designs on tea towels. My lightbulb moment was being given two of my grandmother’s tea towels that she brought back from a trip to the UK and never used. My Mum passed them onto me when I was setting up my home (she didn’t use them either). I believe in practical and beautiful items that are cherished and shared. Going back in time I would tell my Grandmother to enjoy them during her lifetime but I am also eternally grateful that I get them. I still check every op shop for full-colour linen or cotton tea towels in the style she loved and I’ve only been successful once. So I’m adding my own spin on Tea Towel design inspired by those designs and my surroundings.
This Design Is All About Loving Art Deco
Hawke’s Bay hosts two art deco festivals per year. It’s a big deal round here! We moved to Napier over 6 years ago and to get to know our new city I started drawing the beautiful buildings I saw around me.
