In July my partner and I began testing the market with our own blends of organic tea, inspired by our life in the Hebrides. Here is a collection of my plant studies some of which made their way onto the packaging.

Toxic waste

During this time my research and paintings honed in on trees with carrier bags for leaves, plastic in the ocean from polyester garments, the destruction caused by single use plastics and being overloaded with statistics...
