Hello I am Tina, Ecolistic Artworks in my shop. I have always been fascinated by the the natural world. and love to translate into art forms. I used to work as a Veterinary Nurse where been struck with ME made me rethink my life and go to Art College. It was like a home coming, art College was a world that made sense to me. A place where there were so many answers to one question. I didn't stop there I went on to do my Teacher Training and become a founding member of an Enviromental Arts group .
My love of the natural world and keeping heretige skills alive (for ecology as well as for the future) comes from my father who tought me medieval straw beehive making, Skep making and naturally using materials such as willow and hazel followed..
I really enjoy making animals sculptures of any specie and just using the natural materials and my years of observing animals at the vets. I have sculptures commissioned by the National Trust and, other organisations. I love teaching and passing my skills on to others with workshops and classes.. Also creating site Specific Sculpture, Environmental Art, run workshops, Project Manage Art Residencies.
A beautiful woodland is just outside my door in South West Wales on the edge of the Pembrokeshire National Park, I also, have a number of willow beds planted so, access to a lot of home grown materials. I am striving to build upon traditional rural skills that are part of our heritage (such as the skep and hurdle making) and bringing them back to life in contemporary designs for our modern way of living. I believe the creation of my art should have as little impact on the environment as possible.
I love the changes in the seasons, growth, decay and how it effects the landscape and all that is within it. For me sustainability is important that is why I use natural materials and reclaimed items in my work. Each type of material has a character of it's own affected by the weather it grow in and, where it grew this effects the character of piece of work.
Respect for the natural environment is carefully considered throughout. From sourcing materials locally - much collected from my home woodland and willow beds, more muddy footprints less carbon footprint! to, creating - often using traditional skills and techniques through to, packaging - upcycled sourced from local business and packed with a creative twist.
