Kirsty is a handweaver, who works from her garden studio as Hopipola Handwovens creating fresh, contemporary pieces predominantly for use in interiors and accessories on traditional looms.
The seasons are often reflected in her work, whether influencing colours, textures or yarns. Come Spring, the bright, light airiness that flourishes tends to prompt her to play with a brighter colour palette, giving rise to joyful fabrics.

Painting
After completing my degree in Fine Art as a mature student, and now retired as a School Business Manager, I have continued to paint in water colour, acrylics and oils, experimenting with all subject matter; be it portraits, landscapes or abstractions. I have long been a realist painter but as of late I am trying to loosen up and be freer in my approach to painting, generally, and now experimenting with collage.
Digital Artwork
Graham explores the boundaries between generative systems, data visualisation and machine-drawn abstraction. His work focuses on the emergence of pattern and the interplay of geometry and texture. Graham blends a technologist's eye for structure with an artist's intuition for form, challenging the viewer to find order in the abstract.
