I am a printmaker specialising in linocut. I have a passion for depicting nature… in particular the beautiful world of birds.
My prints often depict my personal encounters with wildlife, reminding us that natures beauty can be found all around if we just take time to notice it.

Karen finds inspiration in the majestic landscape of the Shropshire Hills as well as the Cornish coastline, a favourite holiday destination. She creates abstract works that capture an emotional response to a place or event.

I paint mainly in acrylic, and enjoy painting a broad range of subjects, from trains at the Severn Valley Railway, Shropshire scenes like Daniels Mill, The Ironbridge and Blists Hill. Cyclists, Still life, Welsh scenes and native birds. I sell a few originals but mainly prints and framed prints. There are cards of all the above, plus new for this year, comic cartoons, seasonal and special occasion
We are a husband and wife team that specialise in making chainmaille jewellery, from scratch, plus more recently, rings and earrings constructed from sheet. The metals we use are sterling silver, niobium, goldfill and copper. We are always learning new techniques, using sheet and wire and will be adding more dramatic, organic pieces in the coming months.

My work is inspired by my long walks in the Shropshire countryside. I love walking from home, travelling along as many different footpaths as possible, thoroughly exploring my immediate environment. These paintings are the places and spaces that have caught my attention and captured my imagination.
