Mural Artist Nancy Daniell Decorates for Drummonds
13 Dec 22
The latest development in their ongoing design collaboration sees mural artist Nancy Daniell decorate two Drummonds’ baths. Working entirely freehand, using traditional Chinese brushes, it took Nancy four days to paint each bath.
Nancy looked to Pinterest for initial inspiration, delving through nature-related boards as well as those with vintage themes. Having sifted through various ideas with Drummonds, she eventually arrived on the ‘Vintage Circus’ and ‘Shoal’ designs.
Vintage Circus
A true showstopper, Vintage Circus draws on traditional, nostalgic circus imagery and themes. Featuring a chaotic assortment of exotic animals, trapeze artists, strong men and contortionists, it has a playful feel and incorporates bold colours, as well as iridescent elements which complement Drummonds’ metallic finishes. Painted on the Swale bath.
Shoal
With a real sense of movement and fluidity, the Wye is adorned with a teaming shoal of small fish which appear to flow in tandem with the natural curve of the bath. Painted against a dark blue background reminiscent of the sea, Shoal has a calm, peaceful feel, perfect for any bathroom.
On the collaboration with Drummonds, Nancy says: “I’ve always wanted to paint a bathtub. I love people getting creative with their interiors and working with Drummonds has offered me the opportunity to do just that.”
Hand finished to order, Drummonds’ cast iron baths are available in a range of bespoke finishes and can be painted in the client’s chosen design, creating a truly unique bathroom centrepiece.
