About Seascape Refoundery

Seascape Refoundery

I create, whether that be paintings, t-shirts, jewellery, cards or other items I try to reflect the beauty I see.

I have always enjoyed art and crafting, even as a child. I have a long interest in fantasy, myths and legends, my mother used to read tales from Greek mythology when I was ill. I have a degree in Applied arts ceramics from Glyndwr. My final piece was a colaboratary work with a local primary school making paper thin porcelain birds commenting about the damage we are doing to the environment. I have worked with horses and have had many animals in my life. I have been involved in dark age re-enactment, Celtic, Viking Saxon and Norman. I enjoy walking, photography and visiting historical sites. I believe in recycling and re-using to create something new. All these interests have been sources of inspiration and can be seen reflected in my work.
I worked for many years as a teaching assistant in Primary education, which I had to leave due to health issues and am currently working as a personal assistant as well as trying to develop my own creative business.

At the current time in my life I find myself living on the beautiful Devon coast near Plymouth. My daughter has started university and I am pursuing my creativity once again. I enjoy working in acrylic paint. My jewellery is made from a mix of found, re-used, recycled and new components. My cards are made from images of my paintings or original photography. The designs on T shirts are either hand done or created using stencils which I draw and hand cut. I am a member of the Eddystone Art Group.

I always wonder how much to say about my health, I have decided to say a little because I found it reassuring when I was first diagnosed to hear from others who faced the same journey. About three years ago I was diagnosed with Joint Hyper-mobility Syndrome. I had gone from a very active person to one that struggled to walk for more than 10 minutes. It has been a long journey and hard work but slowly I am improving. I recently chose to come off of all the painkillers as I was fed up with living in a fog. It is amazing how many systems are affected by the syndrome. For those that wish to know more I can recommend the Hypermobility Syndromes Association (HMSA).

I hope you enjoy viewing my work as much as I enjoy making it.
