as i was falling asleep (my new blog)
October 26, 2012

She has read and imagined a few of my own favourite novels (her covers for these are featured below – yes, I […]
Van Gogh painting literally brought to life in a vertical garden
June 27, 2011

The painting is in the Gallery’s collection and the vertical garden is on an external wall and will mirror the composition […]
