Nostalgia Series 2024-6
I remember landscapes , the physical experience not cities or events. This is an attempt to understand why!

I tend to go out walking locally without any plan or prep. An afternoon later I think about water and sunscreen.

Fragments of Landscape series
The landscape around York is a well kept secret, most drive past searching for the drama of the Dales or Moors. Take the time to stop and breathe and enjoy the quietness of the familiar landscape.
Applique, collage, paint and freehand machine embroidery.
£680 mounted on artist canvas
My work is for sale, but i do not put glazed work in the post. Some is presented in a card mount ready to frame by you, but I do recommend coming to the workspace or exhibition spaces to view first hand.
At the End of the Day
Evening walks along the beach as the world changes form light to sound and movement.
Naburn Fields
Summer fields in the early morning, York. See below.
£200 mounted ready for 12 x 16" frame
This is only a sample of what I have - contact me if you are after something you have seen, would like to come to the workroom to see what is available , or a commissioned piece may be the answer!
Fragments Of A Landscape
Askham
Based on the ideas of how we remember familiar places. We know them too well to be summed up in a single photo. These are layers of glimpses, experiences and time spent on location. They combine old work, oil sketches, fabric samples, paint, and of course stitch, stitch and more stitch!
Into The Blue
The Garden Series
A whole new approach and theme based on the happy chaos that is my summer flower garden . Mostly self seeded annuals and short lived perenials there are layers of shapes, forms and colour. Initially worked on a deep velvet to give depth and richness with lines and splashes of vibrant colour, they now also play with other surfaces and paint .
In the Making - I use a mix of textile techniques- freehand machining, applique, couching, staining, and hand work. Base fabrics are often heavy cotton calico for larger pieces or linen for smaller ones. Scraps and pieces of all sorts of fabrics from sheers to velvet are used to give weight, colour and texture. Some are worked over oil paintings, others are built up in layers and layers.
