Recent Updates:
I’ve just got back from a great 4 days at the RHS Malvern Show with The Guild of Cotswold Craftsmen. It was so lovely to meet so many people who are incredibly passionate about birds, especially the ones they have in their gardens, farmland and local area. Being able to talk birds and nature all day is great and if you ever see me and my flock out and about at a show please pop over for a chat!
Here’s a list of shows and events I’ll be at this year:
The New Forest Show: 28th - 30th July
Art in the Park Leamington Spa: 1st - 2nd August
Malvern Autumn Show: 25th - 27th September
Stratford-upon-Avon Contemporary Arts Fair: 13th - 15th November

My Friend Oli the Owl
When I was based in the Lake District I had a route I would walk with the dog most days. She quickly learnt that when we reached a certain fence post, she may as well stop and sit as I would spend the next few minutes looking out at a specific tree to see if ‘Oli’ - the local neighbourhood Tawny Owl, was in their little home.
So when it came to drawing a Tawny Owl there was only one I could ever imagine doing, Oli is available in a 10×12” Print embellished with gold.
Gold foil embellished prints
All prints that are embellished are done by hand, by me on my boat.
