The tide was out...and the pen just… followed.

Westbay is an original A5 contour drawing — dip pen and ink on paper, drawn in one continuous line. It captures that particular stillness of the Bay at low tide; the texture of water.

Framed in a reclaimed frame and on display now as part of the Tides of Time exhibition at Westgate Galleria. £95.

The perfect gift for someone who loves the Kents Westgate coastline. 🖋️🌊

There’s something quietly radical about drawing without lifting the pen, particularly with a dip pen…you know the ones like the olden days with feathers..

My Carlton Cinema, Westgate, an original A5 contour drawing made in dip pen and ink.

Contour drawing is a practice of pure observation; the hand follows the eye, tracing every cornice, arch, and clock tower without hesitation or correction. The result is a line that feels alive.

It’s now framed in a reclaimed frame and on display as part of
Tides of Time at Westgate Galleria.

One original. One owner. £95.

If you know someone who loves Westgate, loves craft, or simply loves art that carries a story, this is it. 🖋️

📍 Westgate Galleria | Tides of Time Exhibition is on through out June.

✨NEW adventures for me…😅

To start a new mini launch campaign; this is something I am trying out and hopefully will be happening twice a month, with a new collection or product drop on my website store. 🤞

I find running launches very overwhelming, so hence I am concentrating on mini launches.
So I have been quietly prepping my new set of marine cards…🐙

1️⃣ The first mini launch; “Little moments beneath the waves 🌊 “ is going live on May 3rd.
