These are some pieces that are continuing my  'Interpretation of Lace', a body of work I'm exploring with my Masters. This is a small extract from my project abstract:-
"Utilising the concepts of ‘edgings’ symbolically to address the broader themes of identity, gender and the feminine within the marginalisation’s of textile’s in contemporary art, referencing the gender associations of textiles and its connections with women and domesticity..."

On a lighter note, I've also been making and stocking up on my brooches, bookmarks and key rings which I sell at various stockists throughout the Wirral and at venues that invite me to be guest speaker.

Sorry that my news feed has been a bit slow recently. Due to Covid 19, all of my exhibitions, talks and workshops have come to a grinding halt. Of course this is completely necessary and perfectly understandable. The priority is for everyone to keep safe and well.

Once we are all out of the woods and the social distancing restrictions are lifted, things will commence as normal. As for now if you have a workshop booked with me then it will be postponed until further notice. 

Unfortunately the Wirral Open Studios Tour has also been cancelled this year, but we will be back in 2021 with added enthusiasm to see you all and welcome you into our studios.

I am continuing to produce work in isolation in my studio and am keeping myself busy with my Masters course as well as spending a lot of time gardening due to this fantastic weather we are having, so, plenty to keep me occupied. I hope you are all keeping yourselves busy too and creating lots of beautiful things.

I will keep everyone posted about forth coming events as and when we have more information concerning the lockdown and when the restrictions will be lifted etc.

​Meanwhile, I wish everyone the very best, keep safe and well and look after each other.

Exciting News!!!!! I am in this months BeCreative magazine which is out on 16th October with a 'How To' project I did for them. Here's a sneaky peek at the finished piece.

I was extremely pleased to be selected to exhibit in this years open exhibition with the Wirral Society of Arts at the Williamson Art Gallery. I went along to the preview evening last week and there is some fantastic work, such an honour to be exhibiting alongside such amazingly talented people.

If you get chance its well worth a visit.

Its going to be a busy couple of months......

I will be taking part in the Art Fair at Abbeywood Estate at Delamere on the 9th of December and the exhibition will continue until the 13th of December. I will be exhibiting my 'Carousel' series at the exhibition and I will be selling a range of cards, limited edition prints and small gifts ideal for little stocking fillers for Christmas at the Art Fair on Sunday 9th December. It would be great to see you there.

The H2O exhibition will be kicking off next week. ConText, a contemporary textile art group will be showing a diverse range of work inspired by the theme of all things water. We will be hosting a meet the artist day on Saturday 3rd of November and we would love to see you there. If you can't make it on the 3rd there will be members of the group on hand throughout the exhibition.
