Camilla Engman and Ana Ventura

These pictures were taken at the current exhibition of Camilla Engman and Ana Ventura at Hamelin in Bologna. It was really interesting to see the artwork of two artists merged together, how their work compliments each other and how they developed the pieces together via post.
I am a big fan of Camilla Engman and her amazing work! Go and visit her blog, if you dont already know her.

Ana Ventura

These are images from the current solo-exhibition of Ana Ventura at the boutique "Neirami Shop" in Bologna. I feel very lucky that I discovered her work during my visit and that I had the chance to meet her in person. The exhibition shows original screen-prints, which are the illustrations for the picture book "9 Stories of Love", published by Topipittori. You can find Ana's website here.

Confezioni Paradiso

This lovely little boutique is definitely worth a visit during a visit in Bologna!
It's full of beautiful handmade design objects. I particularly fell in love with the "German Lion horoscope" handbag and the koala bear cushion by illustrator Giulia Sagramola. You can visit the shop's blog here.

Beautiful Bologna!

Important, if you are nearby Birmingham in the next couple of months, then put this event in your diary!

I am taking part in a group exhibition about the theme Magic, together with a whole lot of amazing illustrators, such as Gemma Correll, Karoline Rerrie and Kate Hindley.

When? April 5th until June 11th.

Where? Solihull, at the Solihull Arts and Library Complex.

For this occasion, we have also created a colour-in book! You can have a taster for this book here!

Power in Numbers

This month I have contributed two screen prints to the Nucleus Gallery in L.A. Their online gallery showcase Power in Numbers presents original artwork from artists all over the world. A percentage from the sale of any art-piece sold will be contributed to a charity organisation of the artist's choice.
My pieces are titled Waterspirit and Sirens and support the WWF and UNICEF.

Magic Little Lightbox

I received this wonderful suitcase miniature light-box from my friend Kittie Jones . It's so tiny.....
