A Year of Inspiration from Nature

I've been busy getting my workshops planned for 2016 and they are all available to book in my shop and Eventbrite page.

I've planned seasonally inspired workshops throughout the year that will share the techniques and ideas behind my mixed media landscapes. Designed to fit together to give you creative confidence and help you develop your visual language, the days can stand alone or be booked as a set of four.

Book all four workshops together and receive a gift of my 'I am Nature - Working with Nature as Inspiration' CD and a mini print from my range (RRP £25)

Here are two smaller pieces I delivered to Thoresby Gallery this week along with some other work.  I was aiming for a more abstract image and more of a textile mark.  I like playing with the shapes and the link between the symbolic and abstract elements, how one creates the other.  I still have alot of images of kantha stitched textiles and quilts on my inspiration board and I have been craving working with cloth, perhaps scaling up and working larger.
