Vicki is the creative talent and founder behind Silken Favours. An outstanding print designer, she takes a playful approach to her subjects, believing that wit and art make excellent bed fellows. Finding her inspiration in the natural world, Vicki uses traditional, intricate and very time consuming pen and ink techniques to conjure up visions of knickknacks and keepsakes from times gone by, creating imagery that feels otherworldly yet reassuringly familiar.
