I create unique, hand painted designs for children’s wall art and concertina cards. I take inspiration directly from my four, small children who delight in the bold, textured colours achieved through acrylic on canvas. My work incorporates varying subjects from seascapes to vehicles to animals and many more. I hope my work brings smiles and joy to all who see them – whether young children or ‘big kids’!
I have always enjoyed the creativity of painting – taking a completely blank canvas and bringing it to life with images, colours and textures. Having children gave me more of a focus behind my painting and gave me a way of sharing it with them. I began to create images of their favourite things for them to enjoy. Most of the things I have created were completed sat at the kitchen table painting alongside my children as they created their own little masterpieces.
A selection of my work is currently on display in the ‘mini gallery’ upstairs in The Little Teahouse Cafe in Ilkley.
