Join me at my Colour Retreat in Liguria, 6–10 May 2026
Five days of local colour, architecture, design, workshops, and sublime landscapes
My recent appearance in the Nostalgia ‘soulful homes’ video series
In summer 2025, the Nostalgia film team invited me to be a part of their independent documentary series. Nostalgia create visual poems that capture the beauty and intimacy of a person’s space. To accompany the home footage, I invited them to Liguria, my Italian homeland, to hunt for trompe l’œil and show them the local towns where my deeper connection with colour lies.
I hope the video helps explain my roots, my inspiration, and my abiding love of colour.
Produced by Lena Khokhlova and filmed by Ilya Ilyukhin.

Part 1
Aesthetic Narrative
17 January, 21 February, 28 March
Come and join me for a day of exploration and a hands-on workshop, as I walk you through the colours and aesthetic of my Ligurian-inspired Georgian cottage for part 1 of the Delysian Colour System.
Discover how heritage, place and identity can nurture colour choices to make unique and nostalgic spaces to live in, with purpose and meaning. Learn more about my colour schemes, and how I achieved them, as I reveal my influences, demonstrate my signature process, and what constitutes an ‘aesthetic narrative’.
Part 2
Colour Perspective, Placement and Purpose
31 January, 7 March, 11 April
Discover how I interpret colour in a three-dimensional way, focusing on colour combinations that are grounded in the natural phenomena of highlight and shadow.
In this hands-on workshop, using my proprietary Delysian Colour System, you’ll apply the principles of colour perspective, placement and purpose to create your own stunning colour schemes, utilising designer fabrics and paints, and you’ll learn how to apply hues to transition harmoniously between rooms, and surfaces, in real-life conditions.

Then, at a later date in my training calendar, come to my part 2 workshop on how to interpret colour in a three-dimensional way, focusing on colour combinations that are grounded in the natural phenomena of highlight and shadow.
In the part 1 workshop, discover how heritage, place and identity can nurture colour choices to make unique and nostalgic spaces to live in, with purpose and meaning, while in the part 2 hands-on workshop you’ll apply the principles of colour perspective, placement and purpose to create your own colour schemes, utilising designer fabrics and paints.
Part 3
Chroma Confidence and Palette Frameworks
Spring 2026 dates to be announced
In this workshop you’ll identify your strengths, and build confidence as you discover your own natural abilities whilst creating unique colour combinations.
If you already work with colour, this is an opportunity to push beyond your comfort zone and discover a more confident way to express your own distinctive, personal style.
Whilst this workshop can be taken entirely on its own, it is a natural progession for anyone who has taken part 1 and part 2 of the Delysian Colour System training.
