I was inspired to do this piece by thinking about the wild flowers in the garden, and the need to protect bees and insects, and biodiversity. The No Mow May idea had already been part of our unintentional letting go during lockdown, and I had enjoyed observing and painting dandelions and daisies. I got out my mum’s Singer sewing machine, which is between 70 and 80 years old. Along with sorting through her large sewing box for odds and ends, it gave me a strong sense of my mum’s spirit, and an impetus to teach Freya and Esme to use the Singer, and continue the maternal line connection.

up planning applications for large numbers of houses.

My panel represents how we share our local areas with many wild animals. We can make a positive impact by respecting and valuing their right to be there.

The picture represents "connectedness" between water - trees/plants - and the bird at the centre. That we are all interconnected.
