Making Mother’s Day: TNG artists’ designs go global with exciting Lush partnership

The work of two talented artists from our Hammersmith & Fulham art studio has gone global after their striking designs were chosen to be featured on Mother’s Day gifts by ethical beauty brand Lush.

Faisal Yusuf and Kelly Ware, both artists at our TNG studio based in the Creighton Centre, in Hammersmith & Fulham, have worked with Lush on designs for two new Mother’s Day gifts which are now available in their stores around the UK and internationally, as well as online.

Design inspired by Hammersmith garden 

Gifts in Lush’s 2026 Mother’s Day collection are inspired by botanicals and nature.

Faisal’s bold animal print design features on Lush’s new ‘Garden Mural’ silk knot wrap, which are made from organic cotton and recycled polyester created from waste plastic bottles, or unique vintage pieces. He got the inspiration for his wonderful design from the animals who visit the Creighton Centre’s garden.

Faisal, who attends weekly sessions at TNG art studio, says:

“I’m excited that my design, with colourful foxes, moles and birds, is now being seen by people in the UK and internationally. I hope mother figures around the world enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.”

Purrfect design of Andre the cat 

Kelly Ware’s cat Andre is also gaining international fame through her joyful print of her feline friend that features on Lush’s ‘Oh So Demure’ greeting card. Kelly says:

“It means so much to me that my lino print of Andre has been chosen. Andre is like an emotional support cat for me. He's just perfect.”

She adds:

“I love making art, and to know that people around the world will be buying my design for Mother’s Day makes me feel really proud.”

Inclusivity within art and design at Lush

Lush has collaborated with a range of artist groups and charities on product designs over the past 11 years.

Emma Tardif, Gift Design Lead at Lush, says about the TNG collaboration:

"Above all we are passionate about art and design, including the people who create it!  Collaborating with Kelly and Faisal from This New Ground has been a joyous experience, we are so inspired by their creativity. When we saw their artworks, we knew we wanted to include them on some special pieces for our Mother’s Day collection.”
