Design

As I am always painting and drawing, it is inevitable that some of those drawings end up becoming designs that work well on products to be sold alongside my paintings.

In 2007, I set up and ran a business called ‘The English Seaside Company” selling my designs and products all over the UK, choosing only the best materials and local and national UK businesses to re-produce my designs commercially, to the highest quality.

I enjoyed great sucess with this venture, selling to over 60 UK shops for 10 years before deciding not to wholesale anymore and to concentrate on smaller runs in my own gallery and studio, without the demand and distractions of retail.

I now produce a small and varied collection of commercial designs that can brought in my gallery and online.

Some of the best selling designs from “The English Seaside company” are still enjoyed and loved by my customers today.

I have designed and made items for private individuals and commercial clients for over 25 years.

All my design work is deep rooted with a love of the traditional crafts such as handmade ceramics, handprinted textiles, stained glass, all my designs start with a drawing or a painting in my studio.
