A Victorian Kew is the title for my Final Major Project at Cardiff Metropolitan University. This project demonstrates my ability to design beautiful and thoughtful repeat and placement prints for the stationery and gifting market. 

Based on Kew gardens in London, the hand drawn and hand painted patterns take strong influences from the arts and crafts movement and 19th Century period, giving an artisan and handcrafted appearance. From delicate wild flowers to Victorian ceramic ornaments, the collection is both unique and highly trend led.

Summer garden party

This floral print collection is inspired by zodiac signs and their birth flowers, each star sign is represented by a different flower, foliage, and unique illustrated vase. These prints are perfect to brighten your home or gift to a loved one whilst holding a special meaning.
All prints began as thoughtfully hand painted gouache illustrations before being reproduced on a high-quality inkjet printer and beautiful 250 gsm canvas textured card. The zodiac prints will come with a small descriptor of the flowers and traits that represent your sign, adding a unique and personal touch.
