I’m Gill, I have a degree in Art and Printmaking and work from home surrounded by pens, paper and ink, and all the tools I need to produce my lights.
All the illustrations on my lamps and lanterns begin life as drawings or sketches which I then adapt to fit around a lampshade or lamp. Some designs are full of colour while others have a more subdued palette so hopefully, there is something for everyone.
Places, nature, and the sea are current themes in my small but handmade range. This will change as I add more designs with new themes finding their way onto the side of a lamp. My aim is to produce lighting that also is a piece of art so that even when unlit they add interest, style, and colour to a room. The illustrations are either screen printed or digitally reproduced using the best quality art paper which gives each lamp a smooth smart and high-quality finish. The lanterns are made with translucent Japanese paper which lets through lots of lovely soft light with a candle inside.
My work is for sale in some lovely shops along the southeast coast which gives me lots of joy to be sharing space with other artisan makers.
