The Layered Fruit pattern in my Still Life collection is the result of a lot of learning and experimentation, and it also tells the story behind the brand itself. I was taking a lot of courses through Skillshare last year on pattern and surface design for textiles. One of the courses was on how to make a layered pattern, which I chose to do with this pattern, and another course was on creating a pattern collection, which is actually how the seed of the House of Caswell idea was planted.

This pastel painting titled Still Life is the inspiration behind the first House of Caswell collection. It tells the story of where I came from, and no matter where I go from here my past will always be part of me.
