Last year, my artwork took an exciting new direction following a chance opportunity with long-term collaborator Tessa Hallmann. When Tess established a bricks-and-mortar space for her vintage clothing brand, Dalarna Vintage, she invited me to contribute to the project.

Wanting my work to complement her distinctive aesthetic,  I developed and built upon my existing collection of animal characters, dressing them in a mix of vintage and contemporary hats and headwear inspired by the shop and Tess’s vast hat collection.
