Emily's Garden

I designed Emily’s Garden as a study in nature’s reclamation: a lush, riviera landscape where once-manicured pleasure gardens have been overtaken by winding vines and curling clouds. The design was born from a creative dialogue with a fine jeweller; a shared vision of a 'cultivated country' that served as the atmospheric heart of a new collection. This origin is woven into the landscape, where exotic birds can be found purloining abandoned treasures amidst the foliage. It is a world of 'perfect imperfection,' designed to feel like a centuries-old botanical mural discovered within the walls of a forgotten historic house.

The design began its life in my studio as a series of hand-painted works on paper. Before being digitised, every bird, exotic bloom, and hidden jewel was brought to life using chalk paints and layering techniques to create a weathered, storied original. By preserving the delicate washes and distressed textures of the painted paper, the resulting wallpaper retains the tactile mellowed soul of a mural, offering the atmosphere of the atelier for the home.

The wallpaper is engineered to feel like a continuous hand-painted mural rather than a standard repeat, while our Giclée prints use heavy, textured archival paper that mimics the surface of the original fresco. This collection allows you to own a piece of the studio’s archive, printed to order in the UK to ensure the highest quality and minimal waste."

Emily's garden is available as a wallpaper (bespoke rescaling and fabric on request) or as museum-grade archival prints in my Shop.
