Venue address: Arundel Lido, Queen Street
Being a textile and mixed media artist and tutor living by the coast in Littlehampton, West Sussex, I find endless inspiration in the shoreline and surrounding landscape of the South Downs.
Over the years my passion for textiles and colour has lead me on a journey of exploration and continuous learning. I relish discovering new processes and ways of combining and manipulating fabric, thread, paper, print, ink and natural dyes.
I also hold workshops in the local area, enabling others to try new skills in a relaxed and friendly environment.
In more recent times, I have become increasingly drawn to nature’s textures and natural colour palette. I find great joy in using natural materials and pigments, along with alternative processes, encouraging a more free-flowing way of working, never quite knowing what results will follow. Thus removing the pressure of preconceived expectations of my pieces.
This year my joint exhibition ‘Tidelines’, with fellow artist Cat McLelland, at the Thomas Heatherwick designed East Beach Café, Littlehampton, explores shoreline finds and their form, texture, and colour.
I am delighted to return to the Arundel Gallery Trail again this year.
