WHERE OUR ART MEETS THE HEART OF SOMERSET LIVING.
WHETHER YOU FEEL CONNECTED TO THE CRUSTACEAN DESIGNS, BOTANICALS OR CELEBRATION / COCKTAILS RANGE, ONE THING CONNECTS ALL THE PRINTS AND THAT IS COLOUR. ARTIST HANNAH FEELS HER ART SHOULD VERY MUCH PLAY A PART IN A PALETTE FOR A ROOM AND SHOULD BE USED TO BREAK UP VAST WALLS OF SOLID COLOUR BY ENRICHING THE SPACE AND CREATING A THEME.
​
HANNAH RELOCATED FROM MARLOW TO SOUTH SOMERSET IN 2009. A KEEN WATER COLOUR ARTIST AND INTERIORS ENTHUSIAST SHE WANTED TO BRING BACK THE EXPRESSION OF ART THROUGH POSTER PRINTS AND CREATE DESIGNS THAT WOULD REFLECT PEOPLES PASSIONS AND INTERESTS.
