Inspiration for my Yorkshire landscape paintings

Living between Leeds and York, I’m fortunate to be surrounded by the diverse beauty of the Yorkshire countryside. From rolling hills and woodlands to coastal views and patchwork fields, each landscape offers a unique palette of colours, textures, and moods that inspire my felt art.

I aim to capture the essence of these scenes: the grounding stillness of a misty morning, the exhilaration of a windswept hilltop, or the warmth of a golden sunset. Through my felt landscapes, I strive to evoke the feelings of freedom, connection, vitality and escape that nature instills.

Whatever the weather or season you always feel better and more alive by having a walk in nature.

Colour is a very important part of my artwork. I use it to express the beauty of the scene, to help define areas of the painting and to express my feelings within the artwork.

Wool is my primary medium; its organic, eco-friendly qualities allow me to create tactile artworks that bring the outdoors into your home. By incorporating materials like silk, chiffon, and organza, I add depth and texture to my pieces, representing elements such as crinkled skies, sandy beaches, or shimmering water.

Each piece is a fusion of my fine art background and the ancient craft of felt-making, resulting in landscapes that are both painterly and richly textured.
