How Maximalism, Bold Colours and Intricate Details Inspired My New Greeting Card Collection

As an artist, I’ve always been drawn to the delicate elegance and joyous exuberance of Rococo design. Its ornate motifs, flowing details, and celebration of craftsmanship speak to my love of beauty and creativity. This inspiration has found its way into my latest collection of greetings cards — a vibrant exploration of maximalism and artistry.

Each card in my new collection features a detailed hand-painted watercolour motif from my original artwork. These motifs are paired with bold, colourful patterns and framed by vibrant square borders, creating a sense of playful opulence. The designs echo Rococo’s affinity for intricate floral and botanical details, while the dynamic use of colour brings a contemporary twist to the style’s traditional softness.

Recently, I was honored to be named an expert in a Rent article on the Rococo Revival in interior design. I’m incredibly grateful to the lovely Wesley Masters for her thoughtful approach to the topic. Her article beautifully captures the essence of this design era, and I’m delighted to have been part of it. You can read the full article here: ‘Rococo Interior Design: Embracing Ornate Elegance’.

In the article, I discussed the charm of this design era and how it’s making a resurgence in our homes. The Rococo Revival is all about embracing maximalism, layering textures, and celebrating craftsmanship — and these values deeply resonate with my own creative process. I’m particularly drawn to these design aesthetics because they allow for an exploration of rich harmonious colours, intricate patterns, and a sense of timeless beauty. For me, using quality materials and embracing intricate craftsmanship is essential — it elevates the every day and brings beauty into every moment. These principles not only shape my work but also uplift me personally, as they remind me to embrace the richness and complexity of life in both my art and my surroundings.

My new card collection is a reflection of these ideas. Each design is a celebration of colour, pattern, and intricate detail, offering a touch of luxury in a small, personal format and printed on a beautiful quality eco-friendly card. Whether you're sending a card to a loved one or displaying it as a mini artwork, these cards invite you to embrace a bit of everyday opulence. To make your gesture even more personal, each greeting card comes with the option for a handwritten message, delivered directly to your chosen recipient — perfect for adding an extra special touch, or if you're sending a thoughtful surprise from overseas to someone in the UK.

I hope you’ll take a moment to explore the Rent article — it’s a fantastic read if, like me, you’re captivated by the Rococo Revival. And if this style speaks to you, I’d love for you to explore my new collection, combining maximalism and artistry and I truly hope it brings you as much joy as it brought me in creating it.
