My Latest Typewriter Art Giveaway!

My latest typewriter artwork has just gone live on Instagram

A Personal Connection to Italy

This artwork holds a special place in my heart. My first-ever holiday, back in November 2001, was to Pisa when I was just five. While we couldn’t climb the tower (my mum was nine months pregnant with my twin siblings!), the trip left a lasting impression. One memory, captured on my dad’s camcorder, still makes me smile; a leaning waste bin in Cathedral Square, humorously echoing the tower’s famous tilt. See if you can spot this hidden detail in the artwork!

Exciting news! My latest typewriter artwork has just gone live on Instagram, and I’m celebrating with a competition giveaway. This time, I’ve taken on one of medieval Europe’s most iconic landmarks…the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
