The Sultana's Garden

"The Sultana’s Garden is a collection of 50 patterns inspired by the rainforests and tropical beaches of my homes, Singapore and Malaysia. The collection features fantastical hand-drawn birds, flowers and other motifs of nature, and focuses on simple lines and soft colours.

I was influenced by the folk art of traditional Malay batik and Victorian book illustrations such as the ones in my volumes of Arabian Nights. I suppose, having reached the one thousand and second night, I wanted to create just one more story that might be included in Scheherazade’s collection."
