Jenny Hind, one of the winners of the ARTSTHREAD Global Graduate Showcase is an illustrative printed textile designer who produces designs for interior surfaces.
She thoroughly enjoys the process of creating designs which retain a hand rendered aesthetic, paying particular attention to detail.
Key features of practice include a strong traditional handwriting style which gives her work depth, demonstrated through intricate pen illustrations that mimic eighteenth century copper plate engravings and a highly detailed painting style, inspired by traditional chinoiserie paintings.
As A Designer Her Influences Derive From Historical Themes, With A Love For Architecture And Appreciation For Hand Crafted Designs
Her strong approach to research, often begins with visits to historic locations and landmarks with a rich history to further influence design direction.
This allows Jenny to create engaging concepts and narratives which pay homage to the past, a key theme throughout her work.
Fundamental to her design process is observational drawing, developing work by hand before applying colour digitally or hand painting with gouache.
Proficient in computer aided design, Jenny combines a skilled hand with digital programmes such as Adobe Photoshop to develop hand rendered compositions into technical repeats, blending together traditional and contemporary processes.
The World of the Rothschilds
Explore the enchanting world of Beatrice Rothschild and the grand salons of her pink palace of paradise, in this collection of wallpaper and home furnishing prints for high end interiors.
In a period of optimism and discovery during the late eighteenth century, the baroness constructed the charming Villa Ephrussi De Rothschild as her own personal retreat.
A luxurious collection designed to create a personal retreat of your own, Joie de vivre or the joy of living celebrates the forgotten story of Beatrice Rothschild and her love for nature and the arts, to create a life full of decadence and joy.
An eclectic mix of prints reflects the juxtaposition of eras found within the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, blending historical and contemporary approaches to create designs suitable for modern interiors.
Wander the dream gardens that surround the idyllic location and become lost in the French garden, where luxurious shades of green are paired with the uplifting pinks of eccentric roses.
A ballad of blue tones dance together to the sound of Chopins nocturne whilst the mischievous monkey orchestra conducts.
Each motif is carefully hand rendered to illustrate this fascinating story, paying homage to the past.
Toile de Jouy patterns which adorn the villa walls, are reimagined and the hand painted chinoiserie silks echo the elegance of each of the rooms inside.
