Welcome to Blackbird House

My photo
Speyside, North East Scotland
I studied Textile Art at Edinburgh College of Art. I am in to drawing and making....This is a selection of all my most recent work ranging from screenprints to watercolour illustrations to printed bunting to hand made cushions. My inspiration comes from the life I lead surrounded by the things I love most...my children, my home, chickens and garden birds...wild flowers and hedgerows.
