I just love the vibrant colours and effects that can be created. I exhibit my work locally and sell my cards in outlets around Market Drayton. I am also a member of Gallery 12 in Eccleshall. I shall be working along side you so you can see how I work and we can discuss options and techniques as we work.

Hello, I retired from teaching 7 years ago and started to develop my arty side. I worked in watercolour and acrylics attending numerous workshops to develop my art skills. Two / three years ago I stumbled on Craftcourses and booked a silk painting course and I loved it. Silk painting then became my preferred art form. I then discovered batik using hot wax. Some of my silk paintings I go on to embellish with stitching and appliqué. I am passionate about my art and now run workshops, exhibit my work and sell my work through artisan markets. Many of my works have been printed to make greetings cards.
