Working on new designs for textiles, trying out new fabrics or alternative colour combinations for existing designs is a daily occurrence here at Pink House Studio. My textiles are printed by hand in small screen printed editions, some are digitally printed and hand finished.
I am inspired by observing and recording the natural environment, often using drawing and design software, photography or social media to explore an idea. From here the interplay of shape, colour and composition becomes the main focus and soon the idea takes on a life of its own.
The work I make is largely screen printed textiles, recently new textures and marks have been developed through experimenting with different methods of printmaking. I am also expanding my practice to include painting directly onto fabric using dyes.
The Pink House Studio is at my home in Pewsey, Wiltshire. Here, I design and print these unique designs by hand using water based fabric binders and pigments in small editions.
