I have lived in Southville since graduating in Graphic Design from UWE back in 1994. After working as a graphic designer for Mulberry in Somerset, I took time out to travel the world, returning home a year later with over 3000 photographs!
In 2002 I set up my business, Cardtastic (www.cardtastic.co.uk) and published my first range of photographic greeting cards. The Riverside Garden Centre was our very first stockist, and you may have seen our cards in other local shops like Cardiac on North Street. We now supply to over 300 independent retailers across the UK and beyond.
Narrative drawings, as well as handmade "Sum yo-yo Stuff" sketchbooks, and the first issue of "Browner-Knowle" zine.
I have always been strongly drawn to textiles of all kinds – I love the colour, the texture, the smell of fabric. Dyeing, printing, feltmaking and stitching have become something of a passion. This year I’m experimenting with growing woad for the first time with the intention of producing my own dye.
My work for this year’s exhibition will be mostly indigo-dyed fabrics embellished with stitch.
