Chillax In Byron Bay...

It's no secret that creative types turn to the environment around them for inspiration in their work... The colours, textures and energy around us is a great influence on how we feel within ourselves and in turn how we express our vision through our work... Well, this is my environment... The beautiful Byron Bay.... Pure white sand, clear blue water and sculptural foliage - like the pandanas tree - in muted tones that speak in whispered tones - saying all the while - 'relax, relax, relax'... I've recently been working on a lovely project - a small hotel - in Byron Bay - and it's colours just like these that have made it's way from the environs beyond to the spaces within... Washed up, washed out blues and greens, sandy tones in textures intended to translate the feeling you get from the beach to your lounge room... Loving this colour palette right now - it says summer chillax - exactly how summer in Oz is supposed to be... Can't wait to show you the result of our chilled out labours...
