Canoeing is one of my fondest hobbies as there is nothing so relaxing as gently paddling down a river, watching the banks pass you by. Last year whilst paddling along side the reed beds hoping to see a Heron's nest a little closer, I was surprised when a small bird shot past me going straight into the reeds. It stopped and looked in my direction, in it's beak held a red Mayfly. Within that moment a load cluster of chirping came from deep inside the reeds. I sat patiently floating on the water making sure, I did not disturb them as the parent disappeared into the reeds. When the parent left I gently edged a little closer. Inside I could see a nest threaded around the reeds and inside five babies sat. Worried that I would disturb them I moved away from the nest, and as I did so a parent flew in, I watched as it feed its young, who's mouths were wide open. I was unsure at the time what type of bird it was and after some research I found it was a Reed Warbler. Inspired by my trip on the water I have created this piece the 'Warbling Quintet', after the five babies in the nest. A number of techniques were used to create the piece including fabric painting, embroidery, quilting and three dimensional textiles techniques. Unfortunately, this doesn't show particularly well on the photos, so please take a look at the depth of the piece to get an idea of the overall effect.

As a keen artist you will often find me wondering the British countryside, overseeing with a keen eye mother nature at her finest, snapping and sketching the characteristics of all kinds of creatures. From the smallest insect hiding in the warmth of the long grass to the vast landscapes that cover the horizon. I ask why look anywhere else when such beauty is to been seen? I use a wide range of techniques to create three dimensional textiles that capture aspects of nature that I have found beautiful. This beauty I find serves as a reminder of the importance of the natural world, and how we should endeavour to preserve it, this idea has particular importance in society today.
