Ode to Tea
"This collection is all about Tea, an all time favourite of mine – a stylish and classy brew that has warmed many hearts and invigorated and lifted the spirits of many. I have also taken many classic paintings and painting styles, as well as drawn parallels to some stylish icons in history, and literally given in their hands a hot cup of tea to sip! This is my ‘ode to tea’." - Anjum Siddiqui
