Sunlight and reflections and the contrasts they create on the landscape and on objects, inspire me. This source of subjects leads to a diverse range of paintings using a variety of mediums.

After focusing on watercolour and pastels in the past I am experimenting more with abstracts in mixed media.

I am part of the Indigo Shady group. We like to meet to explore different materials and techniques inspired by beautiful landscape and found objects. I work mainly in acrylics and my work is usually fairly large and sometimes dramatic.

Recently inspired by archive footage of the Morecambe Bay Swimming Challenge I endeavour to convey the powerful emotions that swimming in cold water can produce, both euphoria and mindful calm. Sculpting in stoneware I finish my pieces in oxides and underglaze.

I had a background in art, which I’d loved since childhood but I only took up painting “seriously” after I retired. I get a lot of my inspiration from my surroundings. I work with a variety of mediums and love experimenting.

Oh if I had my time again I would have been a potter! Having taken up pottery later on, I have enjoyed developing skills and ideas for making ceramics. I have my own studio in Storth where I throw and hand build my pots, some functional and some just for arts sake. I cannot say I have “a style” and I want my makes to be viewed as individual and quite obviously not made in a factory so you will certainly find an eclectic mix of pieces available.

I’m a Textile Artist and keen photographer, working from my garden studio in Natland. I’m inspired by the colours and textures in the landscape. I layer fabrics and machine and hand embroider them, to create unique pictures, cards and jewellery.
