My 'Sonia' pattern is a homage to inspiring women, from Jules Haines who commissioned it, to Sonia Delaunay herself and the mysterious girl in the painting that inspired the print.
The two most significant inspirations in my work are nature and the history of decorative design. So it felt important to honour these in the way my prints are produced.
Rag-rolling, stippling and sponging were all the range in the 1990s and honestly I've never quite stopped loving these effects.
