Stunning Photography - Kat Sloma

Mini Biography:
"I’m an artist, primarily a photographer, with a strong belief that everyone can benefit from having art and creativity in their life. I love all forms of art, and practice painting, writing and drawing in addition to my first love, photography.
I’ve always been in love with visual art. I’ve been building my photography skills for over 10 years, but truly discovered a deep passion for this art form in the last two years while living in Italy and traveling Europe. I moved to Italy in 2009 for a corporate work assignment as an engineering project manager, but I leave in 2011 as an artist. Two years of living and traveling in an environment so rich in art, history and visual beauty have changed me forever.
Along my personal creative journey, I’ve discovered that having a regular practice of art and creativity connects me to my true self. It increases my happiness and satisfaction in every day life. I’ve also discovered a passion for encouraging others along their journey as well. I love what creativity brings to my life; I want others to find the same kind of happiness, satisfaction and confidence through art and creativity".

TerrorDome
Hey Everyone! I have a secret love of maps and love collecting things with them on,a shower curtain, drawer liners and scratch map wall art are some of the map related objects decorating my home. I guess it all comes from a love of the world. Last week I found a fantastic artist from Bristol called Emma who does some gorgeous and extremely cute 3D work using maps, places and shapes.
I fell in love with a framed piece of boy and a girl shapes made out of a map. I love the simplicity of her work and how each object can represent a place and a person.
Make sure you've visit her Etsy Shop and get your self a cute couple of your own. Have a lovely Thursday, Love Moni!

Cards - Marks & Spencer
Today I just wanted to share a couple more samples sent to me from the lovely Tigerprint UK that are now in store & available to buy at Marks & Spencer.
I'm known for my quirky, contemporary style but sometimes I do get more traditional & classic requests so here's a couple of examples... I always enjoy typography, it's one of my favourite things at the moment.

Lovely Book!
I was lucky enough to receive this lovely book as a gift from my fabulous creative assistant Moni. It actually arrived in the post as a new studio gift & a birthday treat. It really is a beautiful book jam packed with gorgeous illustrations & striking typographic designs. As you all know I'm a big fan of quotes & sentiment as I'm always happily pinning away on my pintrest board.
This book is just perfect as it's full of uplifting designs & lovely words, so I was super happy with my gift.
Thanks Moni x

Jute Bags - Marks & Spencer
#Happy Friday!
One of the best parts of my job is receiving samples of products I've designed. It's always really lovely to see things printed & presented to go in to the stores. I designed a new collection of jute bags for Tigerprint UK/Marks & Spencer last year & they are now available to buy. I really like the wooden buttons:)
They are re usable so eco friendly! They can be used as gift bags but they also make great little lunch bags or shopping bags too!
