Miles told us that his favorite place to watch the sunset is on Brighton Beach in his native UK. His “Breaking Waves” design attempts to capture that fleeting moment in its simplest form. As if placing the viewer on that very beach, Mile’s scene depicts the sun sinking into the ocean surrounded by the beautiful geometry of nature.

Set against the royal blue background, Miles's sunset sears a pinkish orange silhouette in the sky. The contrast gives the sensation of movement, as if the sun is actively disappearing behind the horizon within the design.

MILES TEWSON

Featuring calming, minimalist scenes of deserts, waves, sunrises, and (of course) sunsets, Miles' work is like meditation for your eyes. Based in the coastal town of Brighton, his work draws on the simple tranquility of his oceanside setting and expertly captures everyday scenes in a unique and stunning way. His work is bathed in sun-bleached oranges, pinks, blues, and greens that jump off the screen and instantly transport you to Miles' seaside town. Though he often focuses on pared-down, simple compositions Miles uses combinations of color and shadow that add depth, dimension, and a true sense of place. When assembling artists for our "Sunset Series," a commission from Miles was a must. You can find Miles' work on his beautiful Instagram feed, or on his dreamy online shop where you can pick up prints, tote bags, and even a rad coloring book!

STEPHEN LAWRENCE DAY FOUNDATION

On April 22, 1993 at the age of just 18, Stephen Lawrence was murdered in Southeast London in an unprovoked racist attack. After the initial police investigation, five suspects were arrested but not convicted. A public inquiry into the handling of Stephen’s case was held in 1998, and led profound cultural changes in attitudes to racism, to the law and to police practice.

Stephen Lawrence Day was first celebrated in 2019 and takes place annually on 22 April, the date of Stephen’s death. The Day is marked officially in the British calendar as a celebration of Stephen’s life and legacy.

The Foundation, was established amid unprecedented growing global awareness of racial inequality, exists to inspire a more equal, inclusive society, and to foster opportunities for marginalized young people in the UK.
