May I take you inside your hotel, so to speak, where I have provided the art applications?

As you enter, behind the reception desk in the lobby, there is a large hand-painted mural relief made up of layered laser-cut shapes of leaves and flowers. In the corridors leading to the rooms, there are circular panels with the same sculptures, but printed (like a trompe l'oeil). Small versions of the lobby installation hang in the rooms, delicately framed in a Plexiglas box for security. As a thank-you to your guests, or for your hotel gift shop, you will find brooches and tiny wall sculptures to commemorate a pleasant stay in your hotel.

With a theme of plants, flowers, clouds, and crystalline exuberance, my work could weave a 'green' thread through your hotel. I enjoy working with hoteliers to develop artwork that matches the style and colors of your hotel.

In recent years, I have mainly created commissioned works for companies in the hospitality industry. Clients I have worked for include Marina Bay Sands Hotel (SG), Raffles at Galaxy Hotel (CN), Ritz Carlton Hotel (TC), and Royal Caribbean Cruises (US).

During IHS London I will be showcasing a collection of artworks described above for the first time on UK soil.
