I’m very excited to share my first ever colouring book pages! Which were made as a final addition to the Women in Rail Station Artwork Project for Transwilts, an ongoing project since early 2023! I contributed 6 pages made up from outlined versions of some of the illustrations I made prior, to be printed and displayed in different train stations. A full overiw of the project can be found here.

The colouring book also includes contributing pages from another artist involved in the project, Samuel Lincup! The books have been distributed across local schools in Wiltshire for student to enjoy whilst being educated about the project too! If interested in getting your hands on one, I do have a very limited number of copies for sale, link to shop.

After receiving my copies of the colouring book, it prompted me to reflect on the project as a whole. This is likely to be one of my most enjoyable and rewarding projects in recent years. Not only did it surround a topic very important to me, but also allowed almost total creative freedom, and consequently reminded me what I’m capable of! I’m very grateful that after each addition, the client came back for more, allowing me to create an in depth narrative.

As someone very particular about colour within my work, the thought of creating colourless images was never that appealing, however in this circumstance it’s a great addition to project that continues to push engagement with local people. I’m excited to hear what people think of my contributing pages. If I hear I positive responses, I’m sure I’d be keen to make more colouring book pages in the future!
