Saturday 31st July sees Ecojenda opening our next exhibition at Dundee Botanic Garden. We’ve got the plant hunter inspired jackets, scarves and brooches by Jenny Head and bags and wall hangings by Pauline Coddington as well as some of my photographs. There’s something for everyone to enjoy as the informative narratives on the lives of George Forrest and David Douglas make good reading! The exhibition will be open until Friday 20th August.
My series of bee images has been created to highlight the plight of the bumblebee, and half of the proceeds from these images will go towards the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. I have framed photographs, mounted photographs and postcards. If you would like more information please contact me for details.
The photographs have been printed as Giclée prints on heavy 308gsm Hahnemuhle Photorag art paper and will be a limited edition of 5.
NEW!........ see a selection of the exhibits and all the narratives about the lives of the two featured plant hunters here.
While I’ve been doing these exhibitions and displays I have met quite a few textile designers and craftspeople who give regular talks to clubs and societies. And although they are used to talking about their passions, they sometimes need a slideshow or portfolio to illustrate their talk.
I’ve got loads of powerpoint experience so give me a yell if this sounds useful to you, and we can talk business! I’ve put some details of what I can offer on this page.
If you are interested in purchasing any of the photographs on my site, email me with your requirements , and I will get back to you as soon as I can. My pictures are available as high (or low) resolution digital images, prints, canvases or greetings cards
If you just want to say hello email me, or if you use Flickr drop by and leave some comments in there too. I would always value some feedback on my photos!
Thanks for visiting!

Dorothea Lange
“In order to accustom people to seeing from new viewpoints it is essential to take photographs of everyday, familiar objects and in completely unexpected positions. We must revolutionise our visual reasoning.”
