I have exhibited my artwork in many parts of the UK and my work has sold throughout the world.

In the past, I have presented workshops with Artists In Schoos in the Northwest and conducted workshops with The National Trust and other organizations.
My Art
My art is more individual and less mainstream, as are people who like it. I want people to connect with it personally and to make their own interpretations of it. I feel that art says the things that we cannot put into words, it is more about communication and a means of provoking different mindsets.
My latest project is taking this a step further along the line. It involves a story on a wall, where it is possible to change the sequence of images to create individual stories, the artwork then becomes more personal. As a child, I lived for a time in Australia. I used to accompany my mother in her medical work with the Aborigines, their love of colour and story-telling had a great influence on my art. Often, a sense of humour comes out in my art.
My Latest Art
Buzzbee In A Can
All stories spring from other stories and then lead on to others.” Buzzbee in a Can”, came from a series of little vignettes which bordered each page of our last books, “The Rainbow Scarecrows”. The vignettes were separate from the main text and were aimed at non-readers, yet carried an environmental message for young children.
Jumping Jonny
This is an amusing book of poems written by Glennyce Eckersley for children aged five and upwards. It will however, appeal to children of all ages
That’s Love
The concept is really about the evolving love that families, friends and communities have for each other. It is presented in a fun way without over sentimentality.
Frith Sculpture Ltd – Blue Poppy Art
