For me, the best thing about Instagram is the connection with other makers, finding like-minded creatives who inspire and share their talents with all of us. Jenny @pappersaxsten is one of those lovely makers who has really been a wonderful supporter of my work from the beginning. I’m so grateful of the involvement of my design in her workshop [aptly named the #kelscushion 🤓] which she taught at the @vamuseum on the weekend. Loving the colour ways and the beautiful @karenlewistextiles prints on the @oakshottfabrics 👏🏻🙌🏻 congrats on a wonderful workshop Jenny x 📷 @pappersaxsten Repost from @pappersaxsten Happy and excited about this weekends workshop at @vamuseum. Thank you for a great weekend. @karenlewistextiles Your prints onto the @oakshottfabrics combined with @kelsosullivan Design went down a storm. Now to do some pattern writing in the train.

On the drawing board #wip 👋🏻 hi 👋🏻 this is a largish painting for me and it’s in acrylic so taking me ages compared to gouache/watercolour #dryingtime Happy to be working on some final paintings, rather than the smaller sketches /studies (but then it’s a bit boring to show my progress on insta 🤷🏼‍♀️ . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #modernart #painting #modernpainting #carveouttimeforart #contemporaryart #artinprogress #workinprogress #dsart #makearteveryday #artprocess #wallart #abstractart #abstractpainting #geometric #geo #sketch #conceptart #patterndesign #patternobserver #todaysartreport
i've started work on a large painting, there's not much #wip to show yet so here's an illustration I did for the Adelaide Symphony's 'Winter Fire' (Master Series 4). Hope you're having a good day!

The lovely Jenny from @pappersaxsten is teaching a quilting class using the ‘Kels Cushion Pattern’ that she based on one of my artworks... at THE V&A (!) If you’re in London you may like to check it out! I’d be there in a flash if I could be 😊 . Repost from @pappersaxsten Have I told you that I’m back teaching at the V&A on November 10 and 11? No? Have I told you that all participants in my Kels Cushion workshop gets their own Oakshott Fabrics Kit? No? Well I’m spending today playing with these wonderful shot cottons whilst picking colour combos for the class and I want to make one of each. The design is based on a painting by @kelsosullivan. Check her out. We’re going to the V&A Kels!!!!
