✦ Artist's Note
Witches' Garden began as an original watercolour and gouache painting, inspired by my love of the magical, mysterious and wonderfully strange.
As I painted, I imagined the stories these three cats might share. Perhaps they were returning from a secret gathering, searching for ingredients for an unusual potion, or simply enjoying an evening stroll beneath the rising moon.
I wanted the painting to have a nostalgic, almost storybook quality, with warm autumn colours, purple leaves, delicate textures and characters who seem to have lives and adventures beyond the edges of the picture.
This was the first painting in which I met these three curious characters, who are now finding their way into a new collection of illustrations and products, launching in January 2027.
The two elaborately dressed feline friends and their little tortoiseshell companion belong to the imaginative world of Witches' Garden, where familiar things become strange and enchanting, and every little creature might have a secret to tell.
I love finding new ways to bring my illustrations into everyday life. Translating this painting onto a small round purse gives the artwork another purpose, transforming it into something that can accompany you on your own adventures.
I print the illustration onto the fabric using a sublimation printer and heat press in my off-grid studio in County Leitrim. The heat-transfer process allows the artwork to become part of the fabric's surface, preserving its softness, colours and delicate details.
Once printed, I individually sew on the decorative fabric bows and add the finishing touches, including the keychain and an acrylic charm featuring my signature eye-heart logo.
I hope this little purse brings a smile whenever you reach for it.

✦ Small-Batch Studio Making
Printed and hand-embellished in small batches in my off-grid studio in County Leitrim, Ireland, powered by wind and solar energy.
Each purse features my original Witches' Garden illustration, sublimation printed onto a ready-made neoprene purse and finished with a decorative fabric bow, individually sewn on by hand.
