Up and coming artist – Rose Hill

I went to  Vintage Bean cafe  in Brick Lane again, for a coffee. I saw those sparkly artistic images on the wall. They’re very visual and colourful – I adore them!

Rose Hill; a born and bred Londoner creating original designs LOVED forever. Her works are stamps of time not thrown away after a season but art to be treasured. Instantly recognizable but continue to look and see the extra depth and texture. Fall in love with the fresh, vibrate and totally expressive prints.

Here are some of Rose’s new 20s  illustrations that I like below.

Rose Hill trained at Chelsea University of the arts with a 1^st class hons in textile design, she has a unique blend of skills and perspective. Artfully combining hand drawings, digital skills, personal experiences and beauty, she is an inspiration and delight. Capturing stories her work mark you as an individual, connecting with each and every client; bringing a visual expression of your aspirations and personality to your home.

I love the 60s inspired one below. The shape and strong colour – It looks powerful!

The latest collection is a series of retro illustrations hone in to explore the many different facets within…. each illustration has been made entirely of geometric repeat patterns. Please see examples attached, more on her website: www.rosehilldesigns.co.uk

 You will discover more of her interesting artworks and you can follow @rosehilldesigns and her Facebook page . Also, Rose sells her artwork through shops around London. You’ll see all the details on her Blog.

Don’t forget about competition at the moment!!

Artist in Funchal, Madeira

I went to Madeira to visit one of my very best friends, who lives in Garajau, very close to Funchal. I was so excited to see him and to discover the Island.

One afternoon, we visited old town, Santa Maria in Funchal. He took me to an exhibition. There were a couple of artists paintings which I LOVED! Fortunately, I got to meet one of the artists and talked about his work and his life in Madeira. His name was Ricardo Andrade. He was very passionate about what he does and a wonderful family guy. He is truely one of the most amazing artists that I have ever met.

In every corner of this Island in Portugal, there are artistic smells and beautiful nature.

This is video that I would like to share with you.

The trip to Madeira was a wonderful holiday. Many thanks to my friend Tony!

‘Refound’ – Musician in East London

Up and coming musician – ‘Refound’

Refound has popped up all over the country and has definitely made a mark on the scene. Being a founding member of music and arts collective S-U-B-C-U-L-T-U-R-E and having a feature on Radio 1 Extra under his belt, Refound is definitely not one to shy away from getting his hands dirty in the UK hip-hop scene. Refound comes with a very distinct and unique style. Regularly using deep spiritual metaphors to portray the way he see’s the world, Refound communicates his own life experiences through his music, making each of his tracks a journey different from the last. Refound demonstrates these characteristics in his latest EP Dead flowers.

 He is also part of a collective called Royalty star fame in which he collaborates with the moon walkers, King JR Josephs, Indianna Dalby and Mace.

Wilton’s – The Pilgrimage Project

Wilton’s Music Hall is probably one of hidden the best secret places in London.

When I walked into Wilton’s, it was very warm and welcoming!

I went to Wilton’s to do some volunteer work as a front of house recently. The Pilgrimage Project, directed by Mattew. Tom Berish, Rina Mahoney, Rhiannon Oliver and Kerry Shale was performing that night. Jon, the building manager, kindly explained about the night exhibition as well as the history of building. It was good fun!! It is a fascinating place!

There are exhibitions, storytelling,  a bar area as well as a library area, where you could have a rest and drink there too. Also every Tuesday, there is live jazz music.

I am looking forward to going back!

{ What’s So Great About the 20’s You Say? }

I LOVE the Jazz Age!

The Roaring Twenties was the beginning of the Art Deco movement , a truly classy, geometrical and elegant artistic period – my absolute favorite combination!  This decade had great economic prosperity where beautiful craftsmanship truly flourished, men were true gentleman and women were ladies, (or at least dressed like it)!

 This was also known as the Jazz Age, where people danced and partied, celebrating life after World War I, dressing up in diamonds, pearls, and fur coats. A  very well known book was also published during this period, one that most of us know far too well, The Great Gatsby. And if you are my age, then you probably have flash backs of High School English class just thinking about it!  The book always left a great impression on me, but I think I appreciate it far more now, than I…
