Hello. My name is Jenni and I’m a surface pattern artist and art tutor, running a range of workshops across Staffordshire.
My artwork is inspired by nature, the outdoors. and sometimes food. We are real foodies in our household!
I work from my studio at home to create original artwork which is made into beautiful paper and homeware products. They are contemporary, high quality materials and made of sustainable materials from companies I work with in the UK.
Upcoming workshops
I offer art workshops, painting and prosecco events and drawing classes, providing guidance and support to learn new skills and art techniques in a creative and social space for people to connect with art or craft and create a finished piece to take home.
All my workshops for 2025 have finished. A four week illustration course will start in January in Lichfield. More workshops to be added throughout the year.

About me
My range of work is always evolving from my love of drawing, painting and print making and it’s always lovingly made
I have always loved drawing and went to art college and trained as a Surface Pattern Designer at Staffordshire University in 2000, where I first began screen printing which I have included in to some of my artwork today!
I spent 10 years living in the South West, living and working in Bristol, then Barry in South Wales with my partner before we moved to Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Deciding my next steps after becoming a mum, I took on a teaching role at a local college to promote well being through art projects. I like to bring joy to people through my teaching to help build confidence through art, which led to hosting art workshops to adults and children in different venues in Lichfield, Staffordshire and surrounding areas.
In 2020, I developed my own art practice from home. I began sourcing product ideas and suppliers to be able to put out a range of homeware products and greeting cards and prints. I have developed the range and stock to shops, selling at artisan markets and my online shop.
