My work includes making sketchbooks, art books and panels. I make art quilts with my own hand dyed fabric and surface with painting, mono and gelli plate, thermofax and cyanotype printing. This is followed with hand stitch and machine embroidery.

My exhibition will be a colourful display to evoke the collections of plant hunters and of floral feasts which were societies where passionate growers would meet to show off their flower specimens. Auriculas and tulips were a particular favourite for them and for me.

Because growing plants is such an integral part of my art, you will also be able to look around my garden which in the middle of May should be full of spring colour. I will be demonstrating cyanotype printing which is an old photographic method using sunlight to create beautiful blue and white prints.

I have a website and a YouTube channel both called A Creative Garden where I share my methods and inspiration. There are tutorials there on printing, making books, dyeing as well as gardening content.
