The owners of a Lake District skincare brand have used the long-lost artwork of their granny as inspiration for a new product range.

Pure Lakes have used the watercolour paintings of Patricia 'Paddy' Naylor on the packaging of their new Home Spa range and accompanying cosmetic bags.

They also feature in their World Heritage range, one specially developed to celebrate the UNESCO World Heritage inscription for the Lake District National Park.

Granddaughter of Patricia Naylor and co-director of Pure Lakes, Claire McKeever, said: "We originally used Granny’s paintings of Windermere for our World Heritage range.

"This was especially fitting as the Lake District National Park’s Unesco World Heritage inscription was a cultural one celebrating the many artists, poets and creatives inspired by the beautiful landscape.

"I visited my late grandfather, Peter, in 2019 and he suggested we take a look at Granny’s old art studio.

"I hadn’t expected there to be much left of it, but I was amazed to discover it intact, hidden in the brambles and undergrowth at the back of their garden.”

Claire runs the business alongside her husband, Gareth.

Inside the studio, the couple found easels with more of Paddy’s paintings still standing, left untouched for nearly a decade.

Claire added: "We are incredibly delighted to see Granny’s beautiful artwork brought to life for more people to enjoy."

"Our products are all sustainable and hand made in the Lake District so it felt right that something that has stood the test of time, that was lovingly painted by a treasured family member on the hillside of Far Sawrey should accompany them.

“She was a very modest woman, but I think she would have been proud to see her artwork celebrated in both our Home Spa products and also in our World Heritage Range in this way.”
