I’m a North Wales
based artist. I started out painting, many, many years ago. I developed
an interest in tactile mediums and developed a love of fibre craft,
textiles and embroidery. This naturally progressed into mixed media
expressions of art.
I take inspiration from
nature and emotional connection to it. I’m fascinated with mediums that
manipulate light in unusual ways and experimenting with the meeting of
scale, perception and order.
I create many of
my own 'wool palettes'. Most of the fleece I use I prepare myself from
fresh ‘raw fleece’. I usually source fleece from rescue farm sanctuaries
or farms, and then I clean, hand pick and scour the fleece. Once clean,
I hand dye my ‘wool paints’. I often spin my own yarn to use in my own
artwork also.
