Hi Everyone!
My name is Kirsty Marie Pettengell and I am a Textile Illustrator. At present, I am training to be a teaching assistant which will enable me to for a PGCE in the future in Art and Design or then a Masters in Textile Design. I graduated from Gylwydor University (North East School of Art & Design) in BA HONS Illustration in 2008 and since then I have worked and studied as a freelance artist in the Cheshire area. I have a passion for working with textiles, collecting fabrics and learning sewing techniques incorporated with my art, then producing final images either with collage or fashion pieces for myself or for sale. I would like to take my work into print develop my designs into wallpaper and or surface design. I thoroughly enjoy photography from which the majority of my inspirations and work comes from.
At school I support those children who have special educational need and closely work with the Art & Design department where I am able to work with the students with GCSE projects and help invigilate exams. At lunch times I have created an Art & Design work shop for pupils in year 7/8. It is an absolute joy to see the inspiration of the students wanting to learn and create new art work.
At the end of of my third year at University, I was able to show my art work at the New Designers Exhibition in Islington, London. I was fortunate enough to be commissioned and spotted by Creatives Inc, who are a new leading Greeting and Stationery Design Company. They wanted my range of designs to run alongside two other up and coming younger designers at the launch in February 2009 at the Spring Fair in Birmingham NEC. My art work is also displayed in one of Martin Dawbers fashion books (The Big Contemporary Book of Illustrations).
