sea is the inspiration for my felt art

I am a fibre and textile artist creating contemporary felt wall art inspired by the ever-changing Brighton seascape. My felt art gallery showcases unique handmade feltmaking using natural wool felting. These are rich in texture and depth using colour and fibre, resulting in a stunningly tactile piece of art!

Inspiration
Living in Brighton on the south coast of England, much of my felt art is inspired by the many moods of the sea; from the ferocious power of the waves to the hypnotic tranquillity of calm waters. Felt art is such a versatile medium for expression; the morning sunlight on a silvery ocean or the cold grey skies reflecting on a turbulent spiral of browns and olive greens, felt art can capture the unique mood of that moment. The sea is forever changing through the day and through the seasons and every day I find a new inspiration for my felt art.

Gallery
My tactile felt seascapes are either free hanging or mounted onto canvas. The larger free hanging pieces allow you to fully appreciate the random nature of felt making by its irregular edges. The smaller wall art is wrapped around the canvas creating a cleaner finish. These look stunning as stand alone pieces or as a set of contrasting colours. These look not only dramatic in the home, but dynamic in the work place too! You will also see my latest felt artwork which has taken me off in new directions. Bespoke commissions are encouraged and welcomed, ensuring that your decor and fibre art sit harmoniously.
