As some of you may know I have just arrived home from a 14 week art-adventure around California/Bali/Australia/Mexico. I landed in London exactly 6 days before my big art exhibition; straight back in the thick of it!
2 days before the exhibition I had an email from Lisa (girl-boss and now, good friend). She works at South Place Hotel, part of the larger, D&D group. Lisa is killing it and looks after their PR. I was asked to be their mural artist for the Blossom City campaign. This campaign is for Lady Garden Charity founded by Cara Delevigne in aid of the Gynae Cancer Fund; a great cause! SO, despite my impending exhibition, OBV I said yes because some things are just too good to turn down.
SO, having had 4 hours sleep and a full morning of show preparation under my belt, I arrived at Moorgate at 3pm to begin my flower paintings.
I was quite worried because 1) I had never painted a flower in my life 2) South Place Hotel is legit one of the swankiest spaces I’ve ever seen!
 LUCKILY I performed under pressure and was treated to some bubbles once completed because they liked it (LITERALLY thank god).  I want to thank the team for choosing, trusting and feeding me. I really enjoyed stepping outside my comfort zone to paint something new!
SO looking forward to working with these guys in the future.

The Blossom City campaign is running for the next 2 months in South Place Hotel. If you’re ever in Moorgate and want to drink, dine or sleep go and check it out; it’s pretty cool!
