USA Work Trip / / Boston Marina

Today I wanted to share with you some more photographs from recent USA work trip. After visiting the New England Aquarium, I walked along the waterfront & stumbled across some truly amazing colours & textures at the boating marina. I must have spent at least an hour documenting all the imperfections & beauty.

Enjoy! Love Rachael x

Dream Large!

Happy Monday!

We hope you are dreaming large today & feeling motivated!

Artist Review / / Tiffany Calder Kingston

I am thrilled to be able to share some inspirational art and design with you every Tuesday morning as Rachael's 'Art and Creative Writer'. This week, we're featuring the beautiful paintings of Tiffany Calder Kingston.

Tiffany is an Australian artist, born in Melbourne and now living in Byron Bay. After working for 15 years as a commercial artist and designer, she decided to rediscover her love of painting and now takes her creative inspiration from the natural environment.

She likes to explore the relationship that both primitive and present day cultures have with nature and produces work for private commissions and galleries throughout Australia. Her wonderful eye for colour, composition and texture is evident in her paintings and you can see lots more on her website. Have a great week, Justine x

Artist Review: Judith Geher

I am thrilled to be able to share some inspirational art with you every Tuesday morning as Rachael's  'Art and Creative Writer'. This week, we're featuring the expressive portraits of Judith Geher.

Toronto based painter, Judith has a BA(Hons) in Architecture from the University of Toronto and her practice includes this along with drawing, painting and sculpture. 

Judith's stylistic paintings are inspired my images of women in fashion photography. She uses both thin sketched marks on either linen or wood along with thick daubs of oil paint which creates a great contrast of texture. She is fascinated by the aesthetics of beauty and the architectural structure of the face. More inspiration next week! Justine x
