About
As well as keeping my art journal, a love of the natural world inspires me to make carefully observed drawings of the often-missed moments in time, for example when a leaf opens from a bud, or when the light on a flower reveals its complex (or simple) structure. (www.jobealdrawingfromnature.co.uk website coming soon)
From these studies I also make expressive large-scale drawings and textile designs.
I teach and lead projects inspired by and related to my practice. I exhibit work and undertake Artists Residencies.
I studied at Chelsea School of Art and Design.

I have worked as a freelance Arts Manager for over 20 years, working in community arts, latterly producing large scale outdoor arts festivals and walking festivals.
I still co-produce festival events and activity - find out more about my Arts Manager experience here.
