'The Little Prince' 2018, Limited Edition Print.
🌹A tribute to the lovely book "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ✨
"What does that mean -- tame?"
"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish ties."
"To establish ties?"
"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...."

'Bean Untangled' 2018, Limited Edition Print(10).
Bean Untangled describes the unwinding effect of coffee. Inspired by the Coffee Bean plant and the beautiful aroma of coffee, this little character represents all of us when she is transported into a vibrant coloured world as she drinks her beverage. In the title the word 'Tangled' is suggestive of the character Rapunzel and refers to her long hair that wraps and intertwines with the vines, leaves and beans of the coffee plant she seems to grow from 🌱
