Collecting Nature
I couldn’t help noticing many of nature’s organic objects at our local country park whilst we were out walking this evening. I’m terrible for picking things up, inspecting them, and usually popping them in my carrier bag for use as inspiration. (I do wash my hands when I get home!) At the moment I’m currently […]

Sketchbook Peeks Part 3
Continued from Part 2: 8. What is your favourite medium to work with? I use all kinds of different medium as I love layering and overlapping drawings in different materials to create abstract surface designs. My favourite medium would be oil pastels; I like the smooth feel when in contact with the page. 9. Where […]
Feeling Inspired
Last week I went to a local garden centre with my nan. It was nice to get out in the fresh air and we had a lovely cup of tea with some lunch in the cafe. The weather was gorgeous on that day, shame its turned miserable and wet again this week. I couldn’t resist […]
Sketchbook Peeks Part 2
Continued from Sketchbook Peeks Part 1: 5. How do you feel with the prospect of starting a new sketchbook with lots of lovely blank pages?

Sketchbook Peeks Part 1
A couple of months ago I answered some questions about my sketchbooks which formed part of an interview, to be published on a blog. Unfortunately the person publishing the interview is no longer part of that blogging community so I thought I’d post a series of the questions I answered on my own blog. The […]

Today’s selected colour is yellow, and I’ve chosen these images as they are related to spring. My favourite selection of images featured on Poppytalk this […]
Trip to Country Park
Yesterday we went for a walk around a local country park. As usual we picked the wrong time to go, it had been raining the night before so it was a bit muddy, but it was nice to be out in the peaceful fresh air. We followed the numbered trail, Came across some rather unusual […]
Inspirational Mood Boards
I dug out some of my sketchbooks and inspiration boards from my portfolio the other day. Just sifting through them all has given me the ‘get up and go’ to start making new work. I’ll be sharing more pages of my sketchbooks soon so look out for that if you’re interested. These are some of […]
Autistic Students use my Ceramics as inspiration for their project
I was delighted to be contacted by a teacher of Billing Brook School in Northampton a few months ago, who wanted to ask if I’d mind her students using my work as inspiration for a project they were going to be doing. It was a special school for autistic children aged 13-18, who were looking […]
