Charlotte Mann

I'm back from a glorious birthday weekend in Bath with my husband full of sunshine, shopping, sightseeing and much more! Pictures to come asap!

In the meantime...

Have you seen the work of Charlotte Mann shown below in India Knight's Hallway! She is so talented and her work is so different and interesting! I love it! The majority is black marker pen on white walls...
