Orchid Bar, Aberdeen

Ben from Orchid in Aberdeen dropped me a line over the weekend with some photos of me “in action” whilst painting the wall mural behind the bar. A unique alternative to those hideous chain establishments with their mundane wood panelling and generic upholstery, Orchid is going to be one super cool little cocktail bar.

Hand painted artwork provides a little bespoke magic to the bar, a wonderful way to enhance the empty space without filling it with generic wallpaper or resorting to the safe (but predictable) mirror. It can be elegant, quirky, stripped back and minimalist or full on baroque glam – endless stylistic options to suit any interior.

Read more about the job here and see the film of me creating the artwork here.

If you have a big old space which looks sad and unloved, or even an interesting alcove which you feel is a tad neglected, why not commission some super lovely artwork and I’ll pop along with my jam jar of paintbrushes and work my magic. Bespoke artwork brings new life and intrinsically charming loveliness to both commercial and residential spaces. So lovely in fact, it will turn soured milk fresh again, bring dried flowers back into bloom and turn a cold cuppa hot once more.*

To find out more on commissioning some interior artwork, drop me a line and we’ll talk sizes, colours and quotes.

*Obviously I’ve elaborated a bit here, but you get the gist.
