Hello

Art has always been an important part of my life, growing up my father was a watercolour artist and so much of my practical art knowledge came from him. My passion growing up was my interest in animals and so I went to university to study Zoology, with particular interest in the study of animal behaviour and anatomy. I believe that my in-depth knowledge of animal anatomy is beneficial to my artistic portrayal of different animals and how they move and behave. It was after the birth of my second child that I considered the idea of turning my hobby of producing artwork into a business . I had always loved the style of linocut work and after doing training in linocutting I decided that this was the medium that would like to focus on. I love the bold clean lines of linocuts and find the images are striking and impactful, I also enjoy working with colour contrast.

​​

Animals still play a huge part in my life, we are fortunate to live on a charity run farm that is visited by inner city children. I keep a small breeding flock of Greyface Dartmoor sheep which are a rare breed and whom I absolutely adore! I also keep and breed Silkie chickens, own a naughty lurcher called Loki (was asking for trouble naming him that!) and have numerous other pets in my menagerie.

As well as doing linocuts I also enjoy other arts and crafting, including crocheting and block printing onto fabric. I sometimes attend craft fairs selling these and my linocut work, trading as The Crafty Fox, which you can see on my Facebook page etc.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
