“A Crofters Life” is a new collection of work. A humorous depiction of life on Highland & Island farms and crofts. Aiming to highlight the challenges facing rural crofting & farming communities. I have great admiration for those who live on the edges and struggle to make it work for them. And admiration of the many cottage industries that spring from these isolated places. Helping these communities deal with the challenges they face every day, and showing the diversity of work that supports our mainland and island communities. From the farming itself to the cottage industries and tourism that keep them afloat, providing a valuable lifeline. These resourceful communities meet their challenges and survive, but they need our support to put food on our tables.
I am in the process of making prints, cards & a collection of model packs for children (and the young at heart!) to colour & make. More designs are in progress and will be added to my Etsy shop and gallery as we go along. In the meantime, here`s a bit of a sneak peek!
