My New Website

I always have and always will, have the sort of mind that sees what isn’t there.

When I look at the ocean I see mermaids, in the woods I see fairies, and every animal great and small instantly has a personality and purpose within this magical world.

Fortunately I have a family that indulge and support my ventures into this world. They are my greatest fans and biggest critics when needed!

I have always loved art in all its forms, and had hoped to pursue a career with these skills, but decided to follow a path in healthcare as a Radiographer and then a Sonographer.

Art is in the soul though, so it was bound to resurface, and after the birth of my boys, I had time to see the world as I had in my childhood days, and the creations began!

I began needle felting approximately 5 years ago, and if you fancy seeing my creations, please pop to my sister site www.felt-moon.co.uk. I started sketching my felt creations when I didn’t have time to make them instantly or wanted to plan a creation, and then the paints came out!

Water colours had always terrified me previously, as I found them far too unpredictable, but when I returned to them, I discovered the endless possibilities of those unpredictable qualities, and the pleasure of combining metallic watercolours, coloured pencils and pastels to create the visions I imagined.

I take take great pleasure from the magic that metallic paints can add to a picture and therefore hand embellish each print to replicate this quality on every print.

I also have a great passion for home furnishings and have begun dabbling in seamless repeat patterns.

The application of my illustrations is constantly evolving and I look forwards to seeing how this journey unfolds!

When I’m creating a new illustration, there is always a narrative to each piece which evolves along the way. My children are a huge source of inspiration, always discussing the possibilities and magical eqlements that might be woven into the painting. When a painting is completed, I always imagine other children discussing these paintings with their parents and creating their own magical paths through the images they gaze upon.
