Artist’s inspiration:

“Coloured with soft blues and pinks this piece is an abstract depiction of “connected being" within nature. Painted from a highly sensory perspective using all senses to connect to the elements - this piece is a visual story of merging….both into the natural environment and the present moment."

Designed in New Zealand. Made in India.

“My work is influenced by nature and the mystical. Underlying elements of the natural world – energetics, pattern, rhythm, cyclical phases and relationships are some of my principal areas of interest. I am drawn to the invisible - the feeling or energetic experiences in life. I paint completely intuitively, allowing each piece to reach its “completion" in its own time. Using nature-inspired colour phases, I strive to embody and convey the experience of presence, connectedness, and beauty through my work." - Melanie Field

Please note:

Velvet cushions with the same print differ in colour from linen. Due to nuances of digital printing, dyes react differently on different materials.

Avoid direct sunlight as linen is a natural fibre and will fade gradually over time, darker colours are more susceptible to sun discolouration so please choose wisely.
