This is me when new materials arrive…. I have zero shame about my excitement 🤣

Two pieces of work, same subject, completely different interpretations.

One is still a work in progress, I need to add a fluffy white cloud and some light, the other is several years old and I itch to improve it with the knowledge I’ve gained over time since I created it!

Nature provides endless inspiration but the sea especially enraptures 🌊

A close up of some yummy texture from my Pathway headpiece project.

I just love this colour combination, it only works so well because the texture supports it.

This is one of my current ‘work in progress’ projects. I think it already has so much character! I can’t wait to move to the next stage.

I was lucky enough to experience handling a real life chameleon, they’re fascinating animals.

The reptile house is always my first port of call at any zoo, I just love the variety and prehistoric vibe. Which area of the zoo do you visit first?

One of my favourite Powertex makes is this rhino.

I rolled out the Stone Art clay and rubbed metallic pigments onto the surface to create this gorgeous effect.

The rhinoceros armour-like hide is well suited to this project and they are such a wonderful animal to take inspiration from.

I’m joining the Powertex UK celebrations this month and will be sharing some peeks behind the scenes into my creative world.

This is a typical scene for me, foul and masking tape are always involved!

When the bigger space is tidy, I’m much more creative and love to spread out across multiple tables working on several different projects at once.

Follow along

This space is evolving.

If you’ve been here a while, you’ll know I’m a bit of a Powertex addict… and this is where I get to play.

The Secret Art Loft is where I’ll be sharing my own creative work, ideas and projects as they take shape.

If you’ve enjoyed being here so far, you’re very welcome to stay and see where this goes next.
