First collection of Silk Scarves

Lately I have been working very hard on designing and producing a collection of luxurious batik and hand painted 100% silk scarves. Each scarf is an Artwork, each completely unique, it can be worn, framed or simply draped around the home decoratively. Inspired by a mix of line and shape, florals and improvised drawing the scarves are bold, bright and very cheerful. Take a peek –

Tenants Exhibition and Open Studios

We have had an amazing weekend at Saltburn Artists Project, thank you to everyone who came to visit us and congratulation to everybody involved with Saltburn Arts Fair.

The exhibition and open studios was the first chance for me to show my fist collection of batik and hand painted silk scarves alongside some of my silk and cut-work cotton cushions. I was made up to have prime position in the window of the gallery.
