After all the uncertainty and constraints of the last year or so with COVID, I’ve been looking for something that will ‘light me up’ and give me a new burst of energy!

Late last year I started to explore the world of collage and mixed media, not unrelated to the fused applique techniques of textile art. I moved from using just textiles to working with paint, paper and fabric. Here are a few of my explorations ….

What I’ve discovered is that there is a world of possibilities when paint is added to the mix and much for me to learn and explore!

So I’ve signed up for the Art2Life CVP 2021 course - 12 weeks of exploring the possibilities of acrylic paint and more!

I’m not sure where it will take me and where textiles will fit but I’m excited and looking forward to the journey.

The first couple of weeks have been focussed on what inspires us, what we want our art to be and the Art2Life process. Now we are about to get into the painting! Such fun!

Thank you for reading and taking an interest in my art. I’ll be back soon with and update on my progress!
