Adele’s background is in fine art. She studied Painting at Winchester School of Art where she dismayed her tutors by insisting on painting wildlife subjects. Since  graduating she has turned her artistic skills to many things besides her ongoing wildlife art practice, including pub refurbishment, furniture upcycling and painting bricks and barrels at Euro Disney.  Adele relocated to Northern Ireland in 1999 and continues to exhibit in group and solo shows. She continues to work in both fine and applied arts. Her work is part of many private collections and she has been a recipient of a number of awards and bursaries.

Adele has been involved in the craft sector in NI for many years as a maker, usually of things that don’t quite fit into any of the traditional craft disciplines. These days she makes wildlife themed paper art.

Based in Co. Down, she now makes contemporary  wall pieces, allowing the viewer to discover a fairytale world inspired by poetry, storytelling and the imagined lives of the myriad of wildlife and pets that surround her in my countryside garden.
