Welcome to my About page....

​

I've approached this a little differently, firstly I have included a bio relating to me and my art.... 

​

I am an artist living in South Devon with a container shop in Stokeley Farm Shop which I share with six other women artists and makers. I live with one small dog in a very small bungalow that looks out across the fields to Start Bay which absolutely makes up for the lack of space.

I work with paper and I love words, particularly how they produce feelings and memories. My ideas are generally a continuation from what I am currently working on, so I am inspired by the process in a lot of ways. I’ve always been drawn to multiples and the impact of ‘the many’. I think that I am creating a space where I don’t need to actively think, a safe place where I don’t need to worry, and the longer something takes to do the longer I get to stay there. The question I get asked most often is, ‘how long did that take?’ and it’s the one question I don’t have an answer for because it isn’t important to me. I have quite a different relationship with time than most other people.

As well as paper I love coffee and coffee rings on paper, science fiction audiobooks and H.P. Lovecraft, and I always look forward to the clocks going back for winter.

 

Then I have a bit about origami, origami stars and time ...

​

Origami demands time and patience initially as you learn and is an essential part of the process. The majority of the origami I fold is traditional and focuses more on the meaning than the intricacies of the folds. The crane is known to represent peace, longevity and love. Stars relate to the heavens, our aspirations and dreams and the small puffy stars are traditionally given as a symbol of good luck or best wishes. Origami is a journey with each fold representing a positive step forward.

And then I have compiled a gallery which is much more me...
