2017

We move forward from two successful exhibitions in 2016 in Prague and in the USA to the challenge of an exhibition in the Netherlands in the Autumn. We continue to work on A2 sized pieces in portrait format and will be producing four pieces over the year with the theme of 'Freedom'. An essential part of our art is working in series to a common format which does give us all a framework for our creative endeavours.

Chez Nous


Chez Nous
More quirky houses and the text means ' At our house' or 'At our home' in French. I drew lots of houses first in my sketch book and then translated them into fabric. Each house was fused and sewn separately and then stitched onto the background with some hand embroidery added. The flowers are a mixture of silk, cottons and sheers and the words are stitched and then painted. I like to use a little black and white fabric, I hope it gives it a fun look. What do you think?
