Botanical Bliss Art in Bloom

I’m very honoured to be  part of  the latest exhibition at Heart Gallery in Hebden Bridge.
Botanical Bliss Art in Bloom runs from May 3rd to July 27th.

I have created three pieces, especially for the exhibition, as well as some favourites from my current range.

Heart Gallery is a stalwart of the Contemporary Craft world. I first met Alison, the owner, at the beginning of my Contemporary Craft career, when she was giving a talk about approaching galleries: the do & don’ts. Since then, it has been an ambition of mine to stock her gallery.
A couple of years ago, that ambition became a reality, but the novelty hasn’t worn off, I’m still thrilled when I’m asked to exhibit.

Remember to support your independent high street shops

New Product Experiment

I’ve been experimenting with a new way of creating pet portrait commissions.
I’ve had a few requests for my coloured digital sketches, so I decided to give it a go.

Happy customer

I created a digital sketch of Scrumpy the cat, and I sent it to the printers.
When I received the prints back, I couldn’t resist working into it a little more with coloured pencil.

Working on the print base

My intention (when I get time) is to add a little more embellishment with machine and hand stitch.

Commission Revisited

When I first started out I was asked to undertake a very special commission.

Love & Marriage

A unique piece which celebrated wedded love and family.

The family followed my career and watched my creative practice grow and develop.

This year, they asked if I could add to the piece and bring in a little colour.

I aim to please so of course I said yes.
