Caroline Leonard
My inspiration is
drawn from the Dorset coastline and by exploiting the qualities of the
materials I work with. The majority of my work is created by using hand
felted techniques giving form and texture, or hand stitched pieces
requiring closer observation. Often my colour palette revolves around
colours taken from the heather and gorse clad headland which is a place
where I spend time working through ideas.
