Handmade in Lancashire

I am fascinated with the history and beauty of old single use or limited use objects or ‘ephemera’ and giving them a new lease of life in my signature handmade copper foil framed paintings. Old papers provide a fascinating snapshot into the lives of people in the past and are beautiful in their own right. Obsolete typefaces, distressed surfaces and handwritten notes provide perfect unique backdrops in their new life as an integral part of a piece of art.

Imagery from the natural world contrasts beautifully with these industrial pieces and I also use a traditional stained glass technique to ‘float’ frame them in my studio in handmade copper foil frames for an additional unique touch.

26 February 2026

When observing artists and makers, the winter months following Christmas can seem to be a rather inactive period where everything goes a little quiet. This is often the most productive time behind the scenes for creative people!

So I thought I would explain what I have been up to in the last month and a half…
