A voice from the past

This piece marks the start of something new for me. A Magpie’s Call was created in a moment of artistic exploration, a step outside my usual style, blending my love for coloured pencils with the richness of gouache. I wanted to challenge myself, to see how far I could push contrast, texture, and mood while still staying true to the nostalgic essence that runs through my work.

Inspired by the deep, dramatic tones of the Art Deco era, this artwork is bold yet familiar. The magpie, perched on a vintage phone, feels like a voice from the past. A reminder of forgotten conversations, distant memories, and the beauty of everyday sounds that shape our world.

This original piece holds the marks of that journey, every pencil stroke and brush of gouache a reflection of growth, risk, and creativity. If this artwork speaks to you, I’d love for it to find a home where it can continue its story.
