Curiosity is inherent in artists. What would happen if I mixed these? How does it look if I change that? Do I really have to follow that well trodden path?
After spending much of my life painting lonely seascapes and landscapes using traditional materials, one day I discovered wet felt-making. I was passing a small gift shop in Yorkshire when there in the window was the most perfectly beautiful felted bowl. I remember wondering if I could learn to make one of those myself and the following month, after many web tutorials I'd not only created my own bowls but was now wondering whether my lonely landscape style of art might lend itself to the fibre medium too.
My first felted landscape was created a week later and sold within eight minutes of being displayed on Facebook and so the felt landscape artist was born and since those early days I have not only sold my felted landscapes all over the world but also given many face to face talks and tutorials which I enjoyed immensely.
Do please take a look at my galleries because the art there tells you much more about me than words ever could.
