If you love maps, of any type, old or new, Harriet's designs will keep you curious. Local villages and areas are depicted in a timeless yet bespoke style. These make a great collection or you may prefer to give a stand alone piece of art as a great gift for friends and family who love the Eden Valley and the Northern Lake District.

Perhaps you collect sew on patches to mark your memories, sew them onto bags or jackets and relive those special days outdoors.

Bold, striking colours chosen by Victoria for her collage pieces emulate the mood and beauty of our region. Victoria's compositions instantly take the viewer to their favourite viewpoint evoking peaceful memories.

Victoria grew up in rural Cumbria and this is always at the heart of her illustrations and design. She explores our beautiful wild landscape and rugged mountains through collage and hand processes throughout her creations. The textures and imperfections of cut paper give her unique results, meanwhile using screen print and mono print to add personality and originality to her designs.
