A magical collection of original cards, prints and fabrics inspired by the natural world.

All of my artwork for my cards, prints and fabric started life as photographs taken on my wild rambling walks through the woods, hills, hedgerows and seashores. They then took on a life of their own and became the inspiration for my collection of cards, prints, canvas artwork and fabrics. I found that by treating the photographs in various ways I could recapture the energy that I felt when I was taking the picture. I turned some of the images into cards and prints and then I discovered that by working with them to design fabrics the original energy was still there and often intensified. Walking lifts me up, nature comforts me and I love being able to share the feeling that I get through my artwork and fabrics.

Many of my photographs were taken not out in wild remote nature but in those places where nature lives side by side with us in busy cities. The beautiful mushrooms in a tiny copse of trees on a newly built housing estate, the face of the Green Man in fallen beech leaves and ivy beside a busy road, the majestic Beech Queen overlooking a children’s playground and the Rooks who nest beside the school.

There is a magic in all of these places because the magic lives within each one of us, sometimes forgotten or overlooked, but never lost.
