From colours and textures to shapes and scents, The Artist fills their life with sensory objects and experiences, to ensure inspiration surrounds them at all times.

MULTI-FACETED

KEEN EYE

These clear acetate frames from Tom Davies Bespoke Opticians are an essential part of The Artist’s kit, allowing them to perfect every last detail of their latest work.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL

Paloma’s Melody Bangle, £7,950, Tiffany & Co.

Layers and textures are an intrinsic part of The Artist’s sense of perspective, so accessories such as this twisted Tiffany & Co. bangle, crafted from five bands of yellow gold, are an ideal addition to their open and eclectic aesthetic.

REFLECTIVE THINKER

Baby Blue Patent Leather Small Concertina Purse, £55, SageBrown

Blue-sky thinking, reflecting on ideas and daydreaming are integral to The Artist’s process, and if all of those facets could be encapsulated in a fashion accessory, it would surely be this baby blue patent leather purse from SageBrown.
