Collaborations

I feel inspired when collaborating with like-minded people and brands. I love Edward Bulmer 's commitment for all things conservation, sustainable, eco and nature-based; Oliver Heath 's passion for creating healthy homes with Biophilic design and connecting people and places back with Nature and Lynsey Ford 's sensitive approach to sustainable design that is very client-focused for well-being in the home. If you are an Interior Designer or Maker and share my passion for sustainable and eco-friendly interiors then please get in touch.

Edward Bulmer Natural Paints

I love what Edward Bulmer Natural Paints stand for. Their paints are totally made from plants and contain no PET plastics - like Spring Tonic. Each of my Spring Tonic colourways has been matched with up to 5 paint colours each that enhance the murals. (See here). Spring Tonic was installed in their new shop for the first year, leading the way into the creative room at the rear of the showroom. If you buy a mural wallcovering from me please do give them a call (details here) as they will advise you superbly on which paint colour goes best with each colour way.

Oliver Heath, Biophilic Designer

Oliver contacted me to use Spring Tonic 'Midnight' in his Healthy Home exhibit in Westfield, London. He wanted show how to use 'biophilic-inspired' wallcoverings where it was not possible to use plants.

Oliver said '“I was immediately drawn to Spring Tonic as it captures the colour, wildness, and diversity of healthy flourishing habitats – concepts that I love to bring into my Biophilic Design approach. ”

I have again collaborated recently with Oliver for 'Bio-Spaces: Regenerative, Resilient Futures', 19th April 2024 - 30th Sept 2024 at the www.rocalondongallery.com. Spring Tonic, 'The Small Hours' (Black) is shown as a way of bringing the outside in through design and mimicking a night time hedgerow to induce sweet dreams.

Lynsey Ford Designs - Designer and Winner of BBC Design Masters.

Lynsey's Client loves colour and Lynsey wanted to add a natural hedgerow effect along a lengthly curved corridor. Rather than papering the entire length (it was very long...), Lynsey commissioned me to 'paint out' the design - right down to one single dandelion at the end!

Lynsey's client said; 'I chose to pick Spring Tonic because it suits my curved hallway. The actual paper is sumptuous and I was very lucky that George came and hand-painted the rest of the hall, gradually reducing the design. Incredible hand-painting. When I walk down the hall, it's like walking through a field of flowers, always puts a smile on my face and makes me feel happy. Thank you George, beautiful work, beautiful lady'.

She is a lovely lady - her words not mine!

The Soho Lighting Company, DECOREX Olympia 2024

I met Lee Lovett when she bounced onto my trade stand at RHS Chelsea Flower Show with all her positive energy in May 2024.

Later on in the year Lee came to see me in my studio in Harrogate and we arranged for Spring Tonic, 'Morning Mist' to be the backdrop to her outside lighting garden feature which worked brilliantly. It was printed as a bespoke height for the stand. I also created some bespoke dandelions made from thin birch and clay, painted with Edward Bulmer Natural Paints to be added to the stand. The Soho Lighting Company have very strong sustainability ethics and credentials and it was a joy to affiliate with such a gorgeous brand.

It was a lot of fun working with Lee and the team.
