Since I can remember I have loved collecting shells, pebbles, broken pottery and sea worn glass from my many wonderful hours spent combing the shorelines of the British Isles in particular North Wales, where the Llyn Peninsula has been a source of inspiration for my art work for many years. Over the past few years I have been noticing the amount of plastic waste that has been washing up on our beautiful shores, which has led me to rethink my artwork and gifts. I have started to incorporate ocean plastic into my artwork in the aim to create something that can be admired out of something that is harming our oceans. With all my artwork and gifts I work with the ethos 'Be Kind To Our Oceans' in mind by using ethically sourced products where possible and using British suppliers and my local high street to keep my carbon footprint low. I love to work in many forms which has resulted in quite a range of gifts from Ceramic Tea Range to Macrame Jewellery to Woven and Abstract Artwork to Hand Crochet Skin Care Accessories, all are inspired by our coastlines.
I have been holding an annual exhibition called Time & Tide since 2009 at Saint Pedrog Village Hall in Llanbedrog. If you would like to know of any up and coming exhibitions please subscribe to my news letter.
