Creating a piece of Art to inspire, soothe, brighten someones day.

So for those curious about the piece 'Starburst' I posted on facebook the other day, here is a little more info on why, how and where for...... The piece is a three dimensional mixed media 4x4ft canvas for a Charity - Leonard Cheshire Care Home in Tunbridge Wells. A group of artists that I'm part of were asked to put proposals forward for a piece 'out of our comfort zone' so instead of my usual silk painting and knowing I had hoarded all sorts of bits over the years (hate waste - love to recycle), saying to myself 'that would...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

hey ho Happy New Year to all my lovely customers and friends and customers that have become friends.... a little belated due to the Flu but meant sincerely all the same. Thank you for making last year so wonderfully interesting, with lots of bespoke paintings in beautiful colours, Cushions and lampshades to perfectly match your decor, great interior projects like full wall splashbacks, exterior bench seat pads and cushions in showerproof fabrics and so much more. I had a massively busy time with orders before Christmas which was great fun, exciting, exhausting and a touch stressful at the same time....
