ethical art and craft workshops specialism in natural and recycled materials children’s parties residential homes corporate events visitor attractions educational settings
Over the last few years I have been producing environmentally friendly crafts, which have led me to do workshops based on this ethos. I believe it is possible to combine nature and art to produce work that is beautiful and fun.
The result - ‘Junky Monkey!’
I live with my husband and 2 fantastic daughters in the beautiful Derbyshire town of Belper. We try to lead a holistic lifestyle and I am passionate about green issues and the environment which is evident in my work.
I graduated from Derby Uni in 1995 where I studied Graphic Design, this was followed by a masters in Visual Communication.
I have been freelancing as an artist and illustrator since 1997. During this time I worked within a design studio which specialised in licensed characters, was involved with an artist’s co-operative and manned an art gallery. From 2000 - 2006 I was based in ‘Banks Mill Studio’s Derby, sharing with 30 other artists and I worked for an artists agency who have sold my illustrations all over the world. Throughout this time I have run a variety of workshops and taught in adult education.
