I am a part time artist who loves to paint wildlife of all kinds in watercolour. I have no professional qualifications in Art but love to unwind and relax after a sometimes difficult day doing my day job as a Nurse and Mum.

I am a young artist who focuses heavily on capturing architecture, most of which concern buildings that are based in and around the city of Wakefield. My artistic style began in college when I first experimented using an ink pen to draw buildings on large pieces of brown paper. This style has progressed continually over the last couple of years as my work has become increasingly refined as I have become more comfortable using the equipment. I am close to graduating at the University of Huddersfield as I have studied Graphic Design and Animation, this means that my art has been running alongside my University degree.

I started painting a year ago. I mainly use acrylics, but have used watercolours.
My favourite subjects to paint are landscapes & animals. I can get lost in a project, it can be very therapeutic.
I love how the finished painting makes me feel ,the soft lines & colour ,the harsh lines & strong colour. It can take your mind to other places.

Chantry Chapel Artwalk September 5pm - 9pm
Sculpture in the crypt
Yorkshire Sculpture International Index festival
Journey into sculpture: A Hepworth Retrospective
The July Artwalk at the Chantry Chapel looks at how the building of the Hepworth Wakefield and Barbara Hepworth sculptures, use the same process of using steel mesh and fluid materials to the same end. A look into Barbara Hepworth's
Westgate Art Club is researching the way that Barbara Hepworth used steel mesh and fluid plaster to create some of her sculptures.
From this research the members are creating their own plaster sculptures,
By using the same methods materials you can get the feeling and excitement that Barbara Hepworth must have realised. Also how the materials can dictate the way the sculpture turns and bends into the wonderful shapes that she created.
Also on the evening, visitors can follow how the Hepworth was built with steel mesh and moulding techniques stage by stage pouring fluid concrete into moulds.
Stage by stage we see that the Hepworth Wakefield is more than gust a gallery but mirrors her pieces and is a sculpture in its own right.
Abi Bliss
A Soundscape for Chantry Chapel- Love without Sound
Love without Sound collaborators, Abi Bliss and David Badger, create a geolocated soundscape which invites the listener to pause, reflect upon and explore the surroundings of the 14th-Century Chantry Chapel. Using compositional and electroacoustic techniques inspired by Turner's paintings of the Chapel, the project aims to increase awareness and appreciation of this small part of Wakefield's art heritage.
