Vital Arts Printathon and Peepshow for the Royal London Hospital 2013!

Rainbow Flowers a series of 5 prints.

A sneak peak before they go off to the charity Vital Arts

 

These images were taken about 10 years ago now for a project that my glass designer friend Amy Cushing and I were working on at the time.
 
I have donated them to the charity Vital Arts for their printathon 2013 - to help uplift and brighten some hospital waiting and treatment rooms....

In their words:


Selected prints will be featured in an exhibition at the Royal London Hospital Vital Arts Gallery in Whitechapel and will then be installed for permanent display in consulting and treatment rooms for children attending appointments at the hospital. Artwork makes an enormous difference to children facing the stressful and frightening experience of attending hospital and it's a great chance for a huge audience to directly benefit from your work.

Vital Arts are doing great work in commissioning many artists and designers to enhance and lend their creative imagination to the Royal London Hospital in all areas, from the wards, to the halls and waiting areas, it's a treasure trove to behold!
 
happy bank holiday everyone ;-)
 

The Independent - Habitat interview

Ella was recently interviewed by Annie Deakin at Habitat regarding her new Joanie range for Habitat.

You can read the interview here

Habitat Ranges

We are very pleased to announce that Habitat are launching two brand new ranges designed by Ella entitled Joanie and Indian Tale.

Joanie - "Inspired by my burgeoning collection of tea plates both from family heirloooms and charity shops, I wanted to create a collection that is playful and creative, and one that I hope inspires lots of tea parties and home baking!"

Indian Tale - "Colourful books and stories from my childhood inspired this collection – the background tapestry also reminds me of my bedspread when I was young. I wanted to create images that are bold and simple and imply a narrative for the child to interpret however they wish."
