About the Artist
‘Categorising my work has always troubled me but I have settled on ‘textual art’ as the best description of my use of mixed mediums to create contemporary artwork with a rustic charm. I trained as an interior designer at Manchester Metropolitan University and then worked for several architects around Liverpool and Manchester, but my passion was always for art and whenever I got a moment would be covered in paint. Then I met Farmer Tom and everything changed, I moved to Scotland and became a farmers wife! From interior design to lambing! In my new farm surroundings painting animals was a natural progression, a corner of the cattle shed became my new studio and gave me the freedom to go wild (get messy). My experimental use of different materials like fabric samples and plaster helps me to add texture, character and brings the pictures out from the canvas. I started doing local craft markets as an outlet fo my artwork and have slowly worked up to launching myself at events like Country Living and The Royal Highland Show.
