I am a surface design artist born and raised in Berwick-upon-Tweed (Brenda Moody). After many years in the marketing industry, I studied Art and Design at Heriot Watt and Loughborough Universities before setting up my studio in Warwickshire. I combine my love of texture and vivid colours with paper, paint, fabrics and stitch, constructed and manipulated into dimensional forms to produce original framed contemporary works, hand-crafted lifestyle accessories and cards. My time is spent designing and teaching - both at Warwickshire College and The Bramble Patch. A list of workshops for 2008 is available to download on this website.## Your picture: 'Brenda's embroidery.jpg' has been inserted here ##

I am currently exhibiting as part of Gold, Threads and Fire Exhibition - "four artists investigate Warwickshire Museum's extensive archive for inspiration for this stunning exhibition of individual and collaborative work". The exhibition has been a huge success at Warwickshire Museum, Warwick, and is opening at Bilston First Floor Gallery, Wolverhampton 15 March to 12 April 2008.
