In celebration of artist Sir Grayson Perry's 65th birthday, London's Wallace Collection has curated an exhibition on Perry's life and work. The exhibition's central muse has inspired Perry's original design for Liberty's 150th anniversary collection: "This print is influenced by the style of an outsider artist I have invented for my exhibition Delusions of Grandeur at the Wallace collection. As a homeless teenager in the 1960's Shirley Smith was found emaciated and delusional wandering through the rooms of the Wallace Collection. In and out of institutions until she was thirty years old Shirley became obsessed with the Wallace Collection and made art about it all her life. This print features a crude version of Hertford house where the collection resides and also cats which were another passion of Shirley's." -Grayson Perry
