Trained in printmaking at Hull (BA in Fine Art, 1991) Exhibitions; London, Liverpool, Derbyshire, Holland, I like to draw from life.
I try to draw what I see in front of me in the simplest way possible.
Local scenes. Commissions accepted
I've exhibited my work nationally and accept commissions.
I teach mosaic as part of the creative workshop programme in The Studios, Union Road, New Mills.
creating beautiful art using up-cycled materials.
Peak Design Creations is a one-woman operation. I am a wood artist creating gifts from up-cycled materials. Based in the Peak District, I use my beautiful surroundings to inspire creations that people of all ages will love.
Looking after the environment is important to me and my brand hence why I wanted to base PDC around up-cycling, knowing and caring where my materials come from.
Small is good. Individual is good. It’s just me and that’s ok. Making a small number of pieces, each with love, care and attention to detail - from the first piece of wood carved to the last bit of varnishing. My two hands do everything. I like that my smallness means that I can be personal and personable in all that I do. I am small (I am actually, I’m only 5.2”) I am friendly and I care.
