A Creative Garden - Invidious

A Creative Garden

My mission is to cultivate creativity by showing how you can use your garden to create art!

My garden is both my source of inspiration and a place to find material to print with. I grow mostly perennials and annuals and have a dedicated cutting garden where I grow flowers for making bouquets.

In 2024 I have an exhibition as part of Oxfordshire ARTWEEKS at the end of May, and have had a design selected to decorate a life size ox as part of Oxtrails - a public art trail in Oxford in the summer.

I make mixed media prints and books, and textiles with lots of surface decoration and both hand and machine stitch.

I like unusual techniques (I have a Thermofax printer and a digital embroidery machine) and love cyanotype printing.

See my website called A Creative Garden, where I blog about having an artful garden and making art from your garden.
