I'm a felt artist/wildlife illustrator living in the Forest of Dean and I design and handmake everything myself.
I'm passionate about wildlife, the environment and the issues facing both. It is important to me that I can spread awareness through my art and creations.
I use natural materials and fibres including bamboo, cotton, wool, wood and recycled card & paper. I always prioritise sourcing my materials from other small local businesses wherever possible and keeping my impact on the planet as low as I can. The best thing about the materials I use is that they can all bio degrade, be felted or shaped into something new, or pulled apart to be used as nesting material for wild birds.
Each of my sculptures are made by felting wool or bamboo fibres together. Barbed needles are pushed by hand into the fibres to weave them together tightly, shaping or attaching pieces together. A wire armature is used for larger animals to help keep them sturdy or posable. This process is very time consuming, and many hours or days can go into creating them.
I especially love making wild animals but also take commissions for 2D pictures, 3D pet portraits or any custom request.
