Raffles Collection, London

Built on the historic royal site of Whitehall Palace and witness to world-shaping events of the 20th Century, the first UK home for global luxury hotelier Raffles opened at the rebranded Old War Office – The OWO. 

In 2022/23, I was commissioned to provide over fifty artworks for a collection curated for the guest-rooms, heritage suites, corridors, public areas and the magnificent ballroom.

This curation needed to be worthy of the historical heritage and sensitives of such a grand building. Tapping into the local creative community, the collection highlights some of the best artistic talent living and working in the UK today. 

I am honoured to be invited to be part of this important collection.
