Textile Art
This page shows some of my textile art work. Some of the originals are for sale and prices are given next to the pictures, please contact me if you are interested in purchasing an original piece as these are sometimes out at exhibitions. High quality fine art Giclée prints of most pieces are now available. If you might be interested in prints of other pieces pictured here please contact me and I will let you know when they might be available and at what price.
The prints are extremely high quality, using light fast pigment inks on 315gm acid free watercolour paper and are guaranteed lightfast for 75 years under normal conditions. I send them rolled in a cardboard tube (without mounts or frames) as this is the safest method of posting without damage occurring in transit. If you require a mounted or framed print, I may have a few available when I have a stall at an event.
