William’s Aviary

Inspired by the quiet elegance of the Arts & Crafts movement, William’s Aviary celebrates birds among trailing botanicals in a palette drawn from historical textiles. I have borrowed tulips from my mother’s spring garden, asters from the vast expanse of hayfields around our village, and sunflowers from the undulating golden fields that stretch across the Tarn in summer.

Created for wallpaper, textiles, stationery & home goods.

Tulips in my mother's garden are the inspiration behind designs in the William's Aviary collection, an Art Nouveau style set of surface pattern designs for wallpaper, home decor, bedding and garment fabrics.
Birds are in many of my surface pattern designs, including the William's Aviary collection inspired by the work of William Morris.

Dragonfly Days

The dragonflies come out in June here. Their iridescent blue wings and shimmering bodies are breathtaking flashes of light as they flit in and out of the small streams and rigoles. This collection is inspired by hot afternoons spent in the shade of the Beech trees with bare feet immersed in cool water. It is one of the great joys of summer.

Hand-drawn dragonflies, rabbits, florals and organic plaids set in an Art Nouveau color palette. Four colorways that mix and match for children and adults. Created for fabrics, home décor, stationery & quilting.

of the

Emerald Beetle

While walking through the Beech forest one day, I chanced upon a magical emerald green beetle making its way along the trail. Beetles are critical to the ecosystem and, as it turns out, incredibly beautiful. This collection is inspired by the flowers & insect denizens of our French mountain forests.

Wonderful as wall coverings, home decor, children’s clothing & quilting fabrics as well as journals, stationery & dishware.
