For all you Foodies, one of my favourite Christmas presents!
Donna Hay, Seasons! A stunning book packed with gorgeous photographs of sumptuous food and beautiful scenery! makes you glad to be alive!

"Eating what's fresh and in season is one of life's simple pleasures. In her beautiful new book, number-one-selling author, Donna Hay, provides easy recipes with fresh flavours and new ideas to help you enjoy the best of every season. From the delicious Pan-fried Salmon and Fennel Salad of spring, to a summery Flat-roasted Chicken with Almond and Mint, and comforting winter roasts and desserts, Seasons is both a visual delight and feast for the senses. Following from the success of last year's fast, fresh, simple, the new book promises to be another bestseller for Mother's Day and beyond."

Anna Wright

Illustrator "Anna Wright"

I am in awe of Anna Wright's beautiful free style illustrations!

Anna Wright in her shop.
Anna Wright works from her studio in Edinburgh (an old Officers Mess, now stuffed with feathers, fabrics and gold ink) where she creates her menagerie of lively illustrations of birds, animals and costume.  

Her original illustrations, cards, prints and bags (other products coming soon) are exhibited and stocked by galleries throughout the UK.

Anna tells us, "Along with an interest in wildlife and the outdoors I love textiles, which I often use in colourful mixed-media collages in combination with pen, ink and watercolour."

People often comment that a gentle sense of humour is my trademark. Hope my work makes you smile too!
