About Tina

Tina is a British artist creating sophisticated quirky artworks from her studio in Switzerland.

With a passion for illustration and creating a twist out of nature’s delights, Tina focuses on delicate plants, petals, leaves and buds in combination with mouthwatering ingredients from the kitchen. They depict nature with a quirk to be enjoyed in beautiful country kitchens everywhere–whether in urban cities or indeed in the countryside.

Each piece brings a unique sense of joy and vitality; birds perched on lemons observing their surroundings, is just one of the eclectic images that inspire her creativity.

Tina studied Art and Textiles at Central Saint Martin’s and Huddersfield University prior to embarking on a career in textile design with Designers Guild and Anna French. Tina was then approached by the Swiss design company Christian Fischbacher for whom she worked firstly in London before moving to their head office in Switzerland 30 years ago. She has lived in Switzerland ever since with her now adult children.

Her pieces are available online, in a select few outlets in Switzerland and coming soon to select outlets in the UK.
