While in Maine I nearly completed the Bouquet (altered) Sketchbook I've had kicking around for some time. My garden is full of a hotchpotch of flowers and today I went to the car boot sale and found the man with the Leicester lock-up who was selling incredibly affordable textiles from India. I stuffed a bag with them and after pulling up thousands of stinging nettles and running with Lyra and Patrick I decided I should turn my attention to the final page of Bouquet sketchbook. I gathered an arm full of flowers and set to assembling textiles and studio paraphenalia. I intend to start painting tomorrow!
I'm a painter printmaker. I use egg tempera to paint portraits and still lifes; pastel for still lifes, landscape and interiors, monotype for life drawings, portraits, interiors and landscapes and fused, stitched plastic to play with colour, shape and light. I was NEAC drawing scholar and exhibit regularly in Suffolk and London. I am also a practicing mail artist.
