The Inspiration for Sheep art print

This artwork portrays the sheep industry in Yorkshire. It was created for an exhibition at Leeds Industrial Museum, in association with the International Feltmakers Association Region 10, highlighting the impact of industrialisation on the environment.

It captures a moment in time, with a sheep in close proximity to a collie dog, locked in a standoff. It was this interaction that inspired the title You’re Not My Boss.

I like to include my four pet sheep that I had as a child in my artwork whenever possible. For this piece, I used a photograph I took during my GCSE photography course in the 1990s and integrated my four childhood pet sheep into the scene, against the backdrop of a picturesque North Yorkshire landscape near Burnsall.

I also added my friend’s collie dog in place of my Dad’s mixed-breed dog, which was the one having the stand-off with the sheep in the original photograph. I chose a collie to reflect the traditional dog breed used within the sheep industry.

A Little Poem to go with the Burnsall Sheep Art Print

Burnsall, a Yorkshire beauty spot,
With rolling hills of green.
Where sheep graze freely in the fields,
A peaceful, timeless scene.

So many walks for all to enjoy,
With views to restore your soul.
De-stress with every step,
As nature makes you whole.

One ewe stomps with a stubborn glare,
She stamps her feet and does declare,
“You’re not my boss!” She lowers her head,
The sheepdog admits defeat instead.
