Capturing fleeting moments and transforming them into keepsakes to be treasured, enchants me; be they fleeting memories, light, or sentiments.

FEEL THE FOLK! invited this fledgling group of incredible up-and-coming folk musicians to their launch night last year. They not only went down a treat, but they packed out the venue and left everyone with warm bubbles inside.

ONE STAR AWAKE http://www.myspace.com/onestarawakemusic
Performing a glorious mix of her own songs and traditional folk from England, Ireland and Scotland, sometimes acapella, sometimes with simple accompaniment. Nurtured on an adolescence spent spellbound in folk clubs, this is an act besotted with traditional folk, through which she incorporates other genres. Be prepared for the slow, haunting & atmospheric.

Hello, and welcome to the cozy cul-de-sac West End! Everything was very successful last year with our sunny garden party, so fingers crossed for some more brightness. There'll be a return for the cakes in jars. I'll see what exciting flavours I can whip up this year, and I think there's gonna be a muffin stall too. There'll be a horde of cards and prints, and somewhere to sit for a lazy cuppa. Just off Coronation Road by the foot bridge, hidden from civilzation!

My current work represents a selection of digitally enhanced images developed from my huge library of photographs, taken both here in the UK and while travelling overseas. I use Adobe Photoshop software to create interesting and bold images, concentrating on colour and structure. Each original image has received only a minimal transformation to enhance these qualities.

I studied Fine Art at the University of the West of England (UWE) and work in a variety of media. This series of paintings inspired on a single day in Leigh Woods marries an impressionistic take on the light glimpsed through photorealistic silhouettes of the forest.

Drawn into Leigh Woods on a summer day, not just by the cooler air, but also by the intensity of the light as it filters through the canopy and between the trunks. Sounds too are deadened by the forest that closes in all around.
