I’m thrilled to announce my new collaboration with the Born Free Foundation. A partnership rooted in a shared love for wildlife and a commitment to protecting endangered species. Together, we’ve created a special mug collection, each piece featuring one of my original animal linocut designs. More than just functional objects, these mugs celebrate the beauty and individuality of the animals Born Free works tirelessly to protect.
A Collection with Purpose
At the heart of this collaboration is the belief that art can inspire change. Each mug in the collection showcases a different animal – powerful, expressive, and rendered in the bold style that defines my linocut work. The designs are curated to highlight species facing increasing threats, turning everyday moments – morning coffee, a quiet afternoon tea – into opportunities for awareness and connection.
Each piece serves as a small ambassador for its species: a reminder of the urgent need for conservation, and a celebration of the wild beauty we stand to lose without it.
Supporting Born Free’s Mission
With every purchase, the proceeds go directly to the Born Free Foundation, helping fund their vital efforts to protect wild animal suffering and their threatened habitats. Whether rescuing big cats from captivity, safeguarding elephants from human conflict, or campaigning for an end to wildlife exploitation, Born Free’s work depends on passionate supporters – and this collection offers a meaningful way to contribute.
Art That Gives Back
This collaboration brings together two worlds: the expressive, handcrafted nature of printmaking and the life-saving work of wildlife conservation. The collection isn’t simply about mugs – it’s about using art as a platform for advocacy. Each design carries the intention of sharing Born Free’s message and honouring the animals that inspired it.
Collect, Gift, and Make a Difference
The Born Free Mug Collection makes a thoughtful gift for wildlife lovers, art enthusiasts, and anyone who values ethical, purpose-led products. Collect your favourite design or build a full set – each mug becomes part of a broader story of awareness, compassion, and action.
