LATEST PROJECTS
'Unmade Quilt'
Winner of DMU Local Artist Prize 2018
My 'wall tapestry' is currently on display at New Walk Gallery. It was made from a variety of materials, including wood, lino, acrylic and copper. It's inspiration came from cell structures and wood grain.
'Craft Club'
Craft Assistant working with young children in disadvantaged areas
I'm currently working with a group of 20 children to encourage them top participate in craft activities. This club is located in a disadvantaged area and the club aims to remove them from street gangs and knife crime. I have found that these young children have a unique vision and often come up with great ideas and I really enjoy seeing what they come up with. I get inspired working with them and get a lot of satisfaction out of helping them explore their ideas while getting to know them.
'Pride Banner'
Designing a Banner for Wesley Church Centre to be used and displayed during and after 'Pride'
I was commissioned to create a banner that could be walked around Chester for a church. I utilized the church's logo and created a striking design. It is currently being displayed inside the church building.
