In October, I was awarded the Wiltshire Life 2020 Individual Arts, Culture and Music Award for my work in visual arts and crafts and for the Moravian Star Inspired public sculpture for the garden area of the new Rausing Building ( Athelstan Museum wing) in Malmesbury , Wiltshire. It was a really lovely surprise to be a winner and I am really delighted to get some recognition for my work and this sculpture in particular which is a really dynamic and uplifting piece of public art in my home town.

I am really happy that for the first time my sculptures have been accepted into the 159th Society of Women Artists Open Exhibition. Normally my work is too big (but not that big!) for these types of open submission! Because of Covid-19 this is an online exhibition from 22nd September - 31st December 2020 You can view the whole exhibition following this link Society of Women Artists Online Exhibition LANDSCAPE No. II - NH5690 This sculpture was made as a response to the landscape around Puthall Farm, Stitchcombe and Savernake Forest where I would regularly ride, bike and walk. It is one of three modular sculptures that fit together as one unit or stand alone as individual sculptures. Capturing the flow of the landscape as I move through it is the basis of the work; the sunlight catching the tree tops highlighted in gold leaf. This work is a combination of drawings from the land and interpreted landscape formation following farmed lines and paths created by livestock. LIFELINE P
