As a winner of Guernsey’s new banknotes competition in 2025, I feel deeply honoured to have been chosen as an artist for Guernsey’s new banknotes. My artworks will be featured on the back of all banknotes.
I entered a competition to share the story of the magical “Granite Rock” in the Channel Islands. Through my designs, I hope to help the world recognise and appreciate this beautiful island.
At an earlier stage of the competition, I decided to showcase Guernsey’s monuments and landscape, which represent its uniqueness.
I visited several sites and sketched to examine my ideas. The most challenging aspect of the project was deciding what to present and ensuring that the six designs worked together cohesively.
The designs highlight the island’s diverse coastal heritage and people’s activities. With my Urban Design and Architecture background, I approached the designs from a fresh perspective. The layout is asymmetrical, promoting free movement and energy, and I incorporated Guernsey granite texturing throughout the designs for consistency.
