Under The Moon

I am a creative print designer / illustrator currently living in Stockholm, Sweden. I have a love of watercolour paints, expressive drawings and vibrant patterns. Originally from Scotland, I studied textiles at the Glasgow School of Art, specialising in print for fashion. After graduating with BA Hons Textile Design in 2000, I freelanced for various textile studios in London and on personal projects in my print studio. I worked as a print designer for H&M Divided Red, from 2003 - 2007 and then Cotton Underwear & Nightwear from 2011 - 2015 in Stockholm, Sweden.

 

I studied natural health at Nature Care College in Sydney, Australia from 2007-2011 and I returned there to work in 2015 with my mentors at Harbord Homeopathic Clinic. I worked on reception, gave homeopathic consults, dispensed remedies and facilitated home remedy kit talks. I also illustrated watercolour paintings for 'The Golden Book', published by the clinic's charity The Aurum Project - raising funds for homeopathic research in Australia.

 

Since 2020 I work via my online clinic ‘Pepper & Spoon’ consulting clients around the world and as part of an online global homeopathy team. I also work with massage at two holistic health spaces. I give natural health advice including homeopathy, nutrition and holistic healthcare. I illustrate for my health blogs @pepperandspoon to share information about natural remedies and inspire others. I like to keep a balance of creating imaginative designs and helping others with their health.

 

In 2016 I started creating watercolour illustrations for my own brand ‘Somewhere Under the Moon’ - a world of curious creatures. Every being is an individual and I enjoy the bithing of new characters that surpirse and amuse me. I paint them with emotion and soul. My ideal is to combine my love of creative expression, with healing and a healthy lifestyle.

 

I am also a busy Mother of an energetic boy who teaches me a lot about life and I enjoy family time, eating out, forest walking, swimming, dancing and singing.
