Art+Life+Me

I am an artist working across the spheres of fine art and craft, working in printmaking, embroidery, drawing, collage and photography. I enjoy creating, imagining, laying pen to paper, thread to fabric, collage, printing, etching, writing, stitching, paper of all kinds, text, physical objects, forgotten objects, the disregarded, the decayed, the lonely. It has been two years since I graduated from Bradford School of Art, I have in that time lived in Bristol for over a year, had several exhibitions, moved to Manchester, started taking commissions, but also been un-employed, moved back to Halifax, really got into drawing again thanks to a day job in which not much thinking or concentrating on the actual job needs to take place, drawing has been my heart and minds saving grace. I am making things I love and hoping to get my foot on the ladder, exhibiting and selling at art fairs. I'm here and I hope to develop and progress, draw, inspire, create and with this blog I hope to make sense of ......art+life+me.

My trip to Thailand 2008.

Many things changed for me on this trip, I loved being on the road with my ruck sack for a month with my buddy Sal, it was, well, truly liberating.  I can say without a doubt that travel inspires me, not just my work but my soul, it's where I feel free, I suppose most people feel the same but for me it was a chance for me to be just me, no boyfriend, no work, no worries, just my best friend and the open road.....oh and plenty of bumpy bus rides.  If I could recommend anything to mend a broken heart it would be to travel and explore.

Just a thought .....

A thought carries a long way
It can stay around forever
It can be dangerous and wonderful
Magnificent, Crazy, beautiful.
It can be neither here nor there
Or never destined to be.
But it exists and its all in your head.
