I make a range of Art, and sometimes Textiley Stuff at home in the Calder Valley, often fuelled by Drinking Hot Chocolate x

Living life as an artist and creative, now settled in the Calder Valley, living half way up a hill with Gracie, who is my daughters Iggy...is the most rewarding x

I practice living slowly and mindfully, taking daily walks in nature and absorbing the colours and forms of each season , at a soulful level ...which i take back to my studio and these imprints imbue my work x

Always I've practiced art and accessed my imagination and periodically developed my techniques and creativity... I've studied Textiles and Surface Pattern then specialising in print but I always also loved Structured Textiles and Mixed Media.

I've facilitated Art and Craft Workshops for Children as well as Adults .Also, I've fulfilled commissions for Community Textile Collaboration Pieces..and, in previous times had orders clothing, cushions ,hangings etc etc.

For the last 4 years I've developed a real love for painting in it's many forms ,and my interest was rekindled when one of my daughters stayed with me in the Lockdown.As a way of enjoying and making the most of our time together, we would meet each morning at 9am and create art together for the nest 2hours ..it quickly became a habit that I did not want to give up.

I paint Landscapes, Abstracts, Semi-representational as well expressive pieces on Canvas and Paper. More recently have become addicted to using Gouache and can't stop painting and designing more Illustrative Greetings Cards x
