{ ivy & piper mag feature + work for sale }

I'm excited to let you know that I've been featured in the latest edition of Ivy & Piper Magazine which launched online today. Brimming with beautiful things, reads and inspirations for a stylish home and life, it's always a treat when Ivy & Piper mag comes out; and the May/June 2012 edition doesn't disappoint! So I was very flattered when Elizabeth & Melanie (the very talented creators & editors of IVP) asked me to be involved - and of course couldn't be happier to be keeping company amongst the pages of this fabulous edition. Click here to have a read, the snippet on me is on page 9 and then the work appears on the following two spreads.

So as part of this, I've created a couple of pieces exclusively for Ivy & Piper which are now available for sale. Below are the two appearing in the mag - 'Chanel Exclusifs' and 'You can never be overdressed...' plus a third piece that is also now for sale, 'Lotus Flower'.

So again a huge you to Elizabeth and Melanie from Ivy & Piper for including me in their fabulous magazine, and congratulations to them again for curating a unique yet utterly on-trend and covetable mix of all things interiors. I can't wait to re-read again.. and again.. and again!

Enjoy the read, have a great week.

{ hello pretty colours }

Brights are all about. I went to a very fun and colourful bridal shower lunch on the weekend - this was the fabulously set table with bright blowsy roses, chevron stripe table runners, gold detailing and feather headdresses to boot. Looked amazing.

Then I happened upon my sister Harriette's immaculately-arranged-always-vignetted lounge room where she had these huge hibiscus flowers sitting front-and-centre..... 

I had to paint some of these before Summer is out!

I am, however, starting to feel a bit flowered out at the moment so I welcomed the chance to paint a Chanel No.19 for a lovely client in Hong Kong which I have just shipped off.  I love this crisp and light wash of this green in this one - but I must say, painting all these gorgeous bottles does nothing for narrowing the field in my eternal quest for  that signature scent!
