SUMMER 26
SUMMER 26 is a collection of contemporary watercolour and fine liner illustrations exploring warmth, connection, and the emotional atmosphere of shared spaces and fleeting moments. Moving between interiors, landscapes, and scenes of quiet intimacy, the collection captures the feeling of summer not through spectacle, but through mood—soft light, stillness, closeness, and the comfort of being somewhere that feels alive.
From tropical shorelines in Midnight Palms, to intimate interiors in All Are Welcome Here, and quieter moments of companionship and pause in works such as Just the Two of Us and Lunch Break, the collection centres on spaces that hold feeling—places of rest, conversation, belonging, and reflection.
Created using watercolour, fine liner, and layered detail, the works combine structured linework with loose, atmospheric washes, allowing each scene to feel both grounded and dreamlike. Richer tones, warmer palettes, and intimate compositions create a body of work that feels immersive and emotionally led, shifting the focus away from realism and towards atmosphere.
At its heart, SUMMER 26 is a collection about presence—the quiet beauty of being somewhere, with someone, or within a moment that asks nothing more than to be noticed. Whether through nature, interior spaces, or scenes of human warmth, the collection explores the emotional textures of summer in a way that feels both personal and universal.
Unified by a contemporary illustrative style, SUMMER 26 reflects a softer study of comfort, connection, and stillness—capturing the warmth of fleeting moments and the spaces that hold them.
