Welcome Home Weary Traveller
Hi, we are Glen and Rebecca (aka GRRR).
We met in the year 1993 🧡💚 under the influence of a rainbow knitted jumper — ever since we have been exploring art + life with an unrelenting passion for colour and making.
We believe passionately that art brings joy 🐝 and love to life and through our art, book design and stories we aim to inspire, educate (sometimes challenge), hopefully entertain and awaken.
We are excited you joined us! 🌈 follow your heart 💖
Elvisly, GRRR xx

She first studied Conservation and Restoration in the 1990s and worked in the Conservation Department at Cambridge University Library, where she continued learning formal book binding techniques. In 2001 she decided to return to education to study Fine Art. In the last 15 years her paintings and artists books have been exhibited internationally in Mexico, U.S.A. Netherlands, Sweden as well as the UK, and has been showcased in publications for Gestalten, Berlin, CODE Magazine, Amsterdam and the Celeste Painting Prize. Her current work focuses on painting and colour and combines the energy and layering of contemporary street art, with themes of abstraction and pattern making. The images she conjures are visionary, sometimes figurative, otherworldy and often contain portals or are themselves portals to other dimensions.
