It all started during a business trip to Atlanta, USA in 2007.
Whilst waiting to go into a meeting, I noticed a very striking picture hanging on a wall.
I decided to take a closer look and on drawing near, was totally taken aback to discover that what I had presumed
was yellow paint in the picture,
was in fact wheat straw!
I stood there transfixed and made a quiet vow to myself, that one day I too would try to create a picture that gave an element of surprise once the viewer was up close.
So...... after lots of blood, sweat and real tears (not to mention the bad language and numerous failures in the bin) here I am, many years later with not just one, but a collection of 20+ pictures that I am very excited to share.
I do hope you like them.

Living in rural Leicestershire, I am very much a country girl at heart, hence all of these pictures being countryside related. Roaming fields and footpaths in search of inspiration is of no hardship to me and of course the dog is very happy with this arrangement too! Sometimes it's the things I see or find on these walks that spark new creative ideas.
So far in my pictures, I have used beech leaves, oak leaves, different breeds of sheep wool, wheat straw, meadow hay, wood wool, reindeer moss and reed grass.
These elements not only give the main block of colour to the pictures but also provide the interesting textures too,
