The Mad Hatter's Teapot'

‘The Mad Hatter’s Teapot’ is a digitisation of my now-sold original painting and the inspiration came from another artist who told me that she always begins her painting day with tea-time and that this is her favourite teapot

The tea settles her, keeps her grounded, and it feels like meditation as she thinks about how to progress with her painting; the fact that the tea comes from such a beautiful teapot is a perfect example of form and function as, she says, “the beautiful tea pot is definitely important to me, [it] makes everything better, it’s like an extra energy boost”

Unfortunately she broke this teapot not long after sending me the reference image and so now, this unique painting also serves as a record to her past and to her creative energy.
