I was delighted to be commissioned to work on a community project with Hampshire Cultural Trust & CAMHS creating a collaborative installation to transform space in the Eastleigh clinic. The project began with a site visit, exploring the clinical space and area had to work with, from this, I began to see how the installation could work as a journey piece up the stairwell.

I was delighted to be commissioned by Hampshire Cultural Trust to design and illustrate a 10-window arts trail across Gosport High Street. I took inspiration from the maritime history of the town to design colourful underwater motifs that worked across 10 different shaped windows, in each of the window murals I included a small vintage diver for members of the public to find as they enjoyed the trail along the high street.

Back in March, I was delighted to be booked to host a private craft workshop at a Hen Do just a few miles down the road from me. The group had booked a lovely house to accommodate themselves for the Hen do weekend and when they got in touch were in the initial stages of planning out activities for their 3-day celebration, I chatted through some workshop ideas and options with the bridesmaids and we decided candle painting and clay would be a great way to for everyone to get creative and also have something handmade to take home from the workshop.

Join me for a joyful & inspiring month of creativity in April with an online workshop from decorating ceramic eggs to drawing spring blossom with pencil, loose watercolours and nature journaling. Celebrate the magic of the month with a creative class…

As we head through the first full month of Spring I wanted to share a few ideas to creatively connect with the season and celebrate all the month has to offer…

Last week, I was delighted to spend the Spring Equinox hosting a vase painting workshop at the beautiful Babington House in Frome. We began the workshop by exploring the acrylic painting motifs inspired by folk art and traditional decorative arts, something I love reading about especially the arts and crafts movement and traditional ways of pattern painting.

The days are getting lighter and longer, camellias are in full bloom, and I’ve spotted daffodils and crocuses in the garden, It feels as though Spring is really on the way so whilst we wait for its arrival, embrace the early spring florals with these creative ideas for the month…
