Life as an artist has been hectic I have almost forgotten to keep you informed about the other side of my life, my textile design company Fonzie. Let me tell you a little about how Fonzie works. I started the company because I wanted to create something ethical without loosing any of it’s contemporary style. I am not a fan of globalisation and want my company to offer well designed, well made alternative to the carbon copy products that are available on the mass market.
By carefully selecting small quantities of quality fabric and combining that with vintage materials we can produce truly unique items that are always different from one another.
I have recently purchased a new range of fabrics and am very excited about designing a new range of products.
Here is a sneak preview!

My ’Drawings from India’ sold really well at the exhibition that opened back in May. In addition to making sales I have been contacted by a lady who saw my at The Bowery has commissioned me to create three pieces of work fro her up-coming wedding anniversary. She wants the work to explore and reflect her married and subsequent family life.

I am the new member of the board at the Arthouse based in Wakefield acting as an artist representative for the next two years.
The Arthouse is a unique national membership organisation for the visual arts. It was created in 1994, by a group of visual artists to campaign for equality of access to opportunities for work, training and exhibiting for both disabled and non-disabled artists equally. Membership includes professional practitioners in all visual and tactile art forms and approaches to art; artists are welcomed whether or not they have taken a traditional route to development of their practice.
It also designs and manages ambitious projects including residencies, exhibitions, commissions and research, nationally and internationally, all in accessible settings. The Art House speaks on behalf of all artists and represents their interests to funding and commissioning bodies, to training institutions, to galleries and venues, and to others. It campaigns for inclusive practice across the visual art sector.
I feel that sitting on the board will be a valuable and fulfilling experience for me.
