Artwork for the 20th Anniversary Edition of The Shadow of the Wind

 The 20th Anniversary Edition of The Shadow of the Wind 
by Carlos Ruiz Zafón in a stunning hardback edition.

I was asked by Orion Books to create the artwork for the Cover of the 20th Anniversary Edition

based on a photograph on the original cover. 

The finshed cover has a trompe l'oeil effect, with the character seeming to step out of the page.

 

Commission for Disney Wish

Beauty's Rose for Disney Wish

In 2019, I was commissioned by Disney to work on a sculpture, inspired by 'Beauty and the Beast' for the entrance to The Rose Bar, on board Disney Wish Cruise Ship.  

I made the small stack of the books that the rose, seemingly grows from. 

'The Rose' is made from pages of an old copy of Beauty and the Beast, and then painted red, and treated with a glitter varnish to make it sparkle.

Workshop at The Star

Walking into The Star Inn is like stepping into a fairy tale, 

with tempting aromas of flowers and home-baked bread fresh out of the oven.   

It was here that I was asked to run a workshop for 8 women.

 

We spent the morning making sprigs of paper bluebells, 

inspired by the wild bluebells growing in nearby woodland.
