Location: Bolton Lancashire
About me...

I am a recently retired Hospital Consultant, now leading a parallel life as a full time  fabric artist, creating beautiful, exotic and uplifting fabric collages and other pieces of fabric art from fabric waste and  recycled textiles. I believe my art is quite unique and there is not much awareness about my art of fabric collage. I have had four very successful solo exhibitions in London, Bolton and Lancashire , where I raised a substantial amount of money for various charities I support through my art.

My work has appeared on the cover of two journals and images of my art were used by a Japanese company for their 2015 calendar. I was commissioned to produce collages for Royal Brompton Hospital in London in 2012. My work also hangs in Royal Blackburn Hospital.I have given several talks to various groups , which have been appreciated .

About my talks...

My talks are all power point presentations, lasting between 45 to 60 minutes. I have laptop and projector but am very happy to use inhouse equipment when it is available.

I may be available to give a talk at a short notice.

Fee:

I charge £50 for my talk and a small travel expense for travel over ten miles from Bolton. I will need a projector and a screen if available; in case required I can bring my own equipment.

I may be available to give a talk at a short notice.
