The British Craft Trade Fair 2022

31/3/2022

This Month I will exhibiting at the British Craft Trade Fair. In 2019 I attended this trade show for the first time and was due to attend in 2020. Following the pandemic the show has now returned and so I am putting up my artwork on display once again. Hooray!
I will be showing my prints and cards as well as the odd sculpture. It has taken ages to get it all ready and now I am nearly ready to go once again! Should be fun! Wish me luck.

The Nene Valley stretches from West Northamptonshire all the way through Peterborough and has the Nene river flowing through it. The landscape is surrounded by lush farmland and old villages with hidden footpaths connecting them together. I have always used this landscape as the basis for my artwork showing the wildlife and hills of my home.

My artwork frequently uses a range of mixed media techniques that have also incorporated words. In recent years this has become more important and now collage is a major part of my work which often uses words poetry. The lines of various poems have been woven into my imagery - segments of which can be read.

The wide range of habitats such as wildflower meadows, wetlands, marshes, woodlands and wet grasslands are full of a diverse range of animals and birds. These offer endless inspiration for my artwork on a daily basis as I live right on the edge of a stunning nature reserve near the towns of Higham Ferrers, Irthlingborough and Rushden.
