About Sunshine for Breakfast

Sunshine for Breakfast is a Bristol based illustration business, on a mission to make the world more a positive place with positive words, mindfulness and nature. • Where it all began • Sunshine for Breakfast launched in 2016, with a first range of illustrated greetings cards. The brand has grown to include luxury gold foil cards, art prints, postcards and beautiful gifts. • Mental health and positive energy • The idea for Sunshine for Breakfast began after I was struggling with mental health. I found my medicine in making others smile, by creating hand painted greetings cards to send to friends and family as a little surprise snail mail. I found through brightening someone’s day, sending a positive message and a hug in the post, brought me just as much happiness to send as friends did receiving them. I wanted to channel this positive energy and offer a little Sunshine for Breakfast whilst people opened their post in the mornings. • Nature, yoga and mindfulness • I paint my nature illustrations with watercolour and gouache, I love to create characters and emotion in the animals and scenes that I paint. Whether it’s an adorable elephant cuddling, or a peaceful beach scene, I love to get lost in the moment and really bring a sense of connection with my creations. Designs often feature my own hand lettering. My words are always carefully selected, to encourage a moment of pause, an extra slow and deep breath, or a moment of calm. I hope you enjoy the Sunshine!
