Fee Greening, a dip pen and ink illustrator, is known for her experimental approach to art, rooted in medieval and Gothic design. Sitting down with Paddy, she reflects on the journey that shaped her distinctive style, from her youthful immersion in Gothic and grunge aesthetics while touring with her partner’s band, to a return to the coast, where the rhythms of nature and the richness of traditional folklore began to leave their mark on her work.

Recently, Fee brought her vision to life in her first illustrated book, A Dictionary of Fairies. She talks openly about how embracing creative freedom and prioritising self-expression over conventional “tastefulness” has developed her work in new and exciting ways.

In this special edition of The Chromologist, Emmy Award–winning writer, activist, and artist Suleika Jaouad reflects on her journey as a best-selling author and the creator of The Isolation Journals, a newsletter and creative community.

Suleika shares how colour has played a profound role throughout her life, from her imaginative childhood experiments to her emotional responses to the hospital environments where she has undergone cancer treatment. A three-time cancer survivor, she used colour and imagination to envision her future home, transforming that vision into a personal refuge filled with hope and optimism.

Paddy visits Suleika in this realised space to explore her creative use of colour and decoration, from her thoughtfully curated interiors to cherished details like a vintage typewriter gifted by Tom Hanks.

Alfie Nickerson, founder of Burnt Fen Flower Farm, is no stranger to vibrant colour. Since establishing the farm in 2019, he has been growing and arranging cheerful, seasonal blooms that capture the joy of British-grown flowers. Yet, as Alfie admits, this path was never part of his original plan. He initially set out simply to grow vegetables as a hobby, with no intention of selling flowers at all.

Paddy visits Alfie at Burnt Fen HQ to explore the story behind his unexpected venture and to celebrate the charm of homegrown flowers. Reflecting on his journey, Alfie shares how trading a fast-paced London lifestyle for rural Norfolk has transformed both his outlook and his work, surrounding his days with a new sense of purpose and colour.
