Wedding Cocktails Menu

 





Above is a recent project I completed with the couple naming their wedding cocktails after their dogs.
The dog illustrations were hand drawn in ink before being scanned in and printed on the menu and I love how they turned out!

Semi-custom stationery

 




Semi-custom stationery consists of adapting an existing design to suit your requirements.

To give you some ideas I have taken my line drawing of Dundas Castle and styled it in different ways.

1. Earthy palette - printed on stone coloured card with kraft envelope and twine
2. Chic & elegant - ivory textured card with bespoke gold monogram wax seal and navy envelope
3. Scottish heritage - printed on white textured card with Rose tartan ribbon and navy envelope

Which is your favourite?

Photo shoot




A few photos from a recent brand photoshoot in my studio taken by the talented Sol Collet.

A few words to describe my brand - handcrafted, high quality and creative.

I love how Sol captured all the wee details and how they turned out.

Painting Commission

 





Happy New Year! Above is a commission that I completed as a Christmas gift featuring a farm. I start with a pencil line drawing, then build up the layers of watercolour until the painting is complete.
From tomorrow we are back in lockdown in Scotland but fortunately I am still able to use my studio and open for business as usual.
Stay safe everyone x
