Ex Tex Group at 63 Chanctonbury Road
The four members of the group came together between 2000 and 2004 on an experimental textiles course. They have diverse backgrounds such as teaching, administration and fashion and share a passion for working with textile art in many forms.
The group’s stimulating and colourful work covers all aspects of experimental textiles incorporating both 2D and 3-dimensional pieces. Work is produced in machine embroidery, knitting, felting and papermaking. Plastic, metal, paint, beads, text and found objects are also included.
The group have held successful exhibitions at various venues in Sussex including:
Brighton Centre 2010 and 2011,
Burgess Hill Open Studios 2009, 2010,
The Crypt Gallery, Seaford 2009,
The Grange, Rottingdean in 2008 and 2006

I am an Illustrator come artist who illustrates through drawing using pen and ink, digital media and stencils. I also enjoy experimenting with textiles and creating sock monsters. Accompanying this I relish capturing the moment instantly on my digital and film SLR’s which I use to produce my work. My inspiration comes from observations of daily life and my passion for family, cycling, exploring my surrounds, and an eclectic love of art.
