Project summary:

As an artist I am constantly developing as I discover; expressing words, thoughts and emotions through visible marks and textures. The manipulation of fabric and materials has always intrigued me; as I find there to be endless opportunities and ways to develop the process. Recently I have been taking old traditional crafts and incorporating these methods into my work.

In the summer of 2018 I spent time at the Cyprus College of Art; this allowed me as an artist to gain more self-confidence and widen my knowledge. By mixing with fellow art lovers, silversmiths, potters, stone carvers and curators; I have gathered a much deeper understanding of the dynamics of the Art world. I had no expectations of the college when arriving, only an open mind ready to spend the summer away from the ordinary, in a place where I could lose myself within my work. I found my time there to be extremely beneficial, producing lots of work and learning new crafts such as tapestry, pottery, lino printing and stone carving.
