I like making things for people and with people and love the hybrid nature of using different styles, techniques and materials together. Each outcome is unique and celebrates the creativity, abilities and imagination of those involved.

The visual arts are highly accessible for everyone and there are many ways of doing art. Most people enjoy the practicality of it and many find it therapeutic to do. Everyone is better or worse than someone else. It doesn't matter. Artistic processes can be learnt and developed, borrowing from and learning about different styles and cultures.
Scale, materials, style and proportion can all be manipulated to make art which is original, exciting and speaks for itself.

I specialize in:
  • Traditional arts and crafts

    - Working with a range of materials such as: pen, pencil, pastel, paints, inks, wood, wire, withies, cardboard, papers, plastics, mod roc, industrial off cuts, scrap and found objects to make interesting and original: murals / banners / hangings / mobiles / sculpture / collage / painting / montage / portraiture / figurative representations / masks

  • Textiles and costume

    - Working with traditional materials and techniques such as felts, wools and fabrics: sewing / construction / surface decoration / fabric painting / printing / transfer and tie-dyeing to make: hangings / mobiles / flags / accessories / costume / headdress.
    - Designing, planning and making costume for or with any age group: themed outfits for performance and carnival.
