Artist information
I did an Art Foundation at Abingdon College which was my favourite year of education as it was so exciting to try so many different creative approaches and techniques. I then did a BA in graphic design and advertising at Teesside University. After which i decided to start my own dog walking business. This is my first exhibition in 15 years!
Exhibition information
Tree silhouettes
My inspiration comes from the deep connection I feel to nature and that my favourite place to be is free amongst the trees. I have always held a fascination with photography and print making so when I first discovered cyanotype 10 years ago I was mesmerised by the effect it created knowing I must learn more. Cyanotype is a process created in 1842 by English scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel in essence its sun printing as the UV rays activate the image. I’ve spent the last few years researching it and taking photos of striking and impactful trees that look powerful against the sky along with trying to perfect the cyanotype process. I hope you enjoy my exhibition!
