Welcome

2010/ 2011

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 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).

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.

Recently, I have trained and performed the role as secondary school teacher, technician and teaching assistant, conducting lessons and lesson planning.

Recent Qualifications: -

- Invigilator status.
- GCSE Maths 2010/ 2011.
- NVQ Level 2, Teaching Assistant, Supporting and Learning.
- Adult Numeracy Level 1/2.
- Training Day Certificate, 'How to be a Good Teacher'.
- Food and Hygiene Certificate Level 2.

Textile Images & Illustrations

2011-04-29T00:54:00.051-05:00

A recent piece, created through collage, pen/ ink, stitch, textile embellishments and Photoshop/ Illustrator. The image was inspired by places that I had visited and how I have seen small villages and its surrounding area. I am pleased with the piece and feel it is the direction I would like to take my work.

My inspirations comes from children's books, scenery and architecture. Using the imagination to create a piece that tells a story. Here I have used a series of patterns through print to create a background made for a child's book at university. I have added decorative paper leaves and jewelry to implement a forest, creating texture and atmosphere. The use of water colour is applied along with biro and stitch.

I really like to use my own type. It was appropriate to use for the type of book I was producing. They are collection of images from a children's book that I created at university for a final degree project. The book was made for a close relative and was made in memory of my granddad. My childhood years were spent with my grandparents, exploring and visiting places and learning. I wanted my book to be a professional personal sketchbook, a collection of memories. The photos are enhanced in photoshop/ illustrator and applied to the content of the book with stitch embellished with buttons and decorative material.

This piece was also created for the book. I wanted to create a piece that represented the places where my nan and granddad had visited when they were young. They used to ride their bikes to different places and the arrows on the picture represents this. Additionally I have finished the piece with mounted photos of their trip around the houses.

I had a alot of relevant material to work with, which was exciting and was emotional in a sense that I was reliving my younger years creating this book. An illustration of Vivienne Westwood. A university piece with 3d and 2d elements finalized in photoshop. I have incorporated some of Vivienne's famous fashion garments, inc Naomi Campbell's high heel purple shoes, Paris catwalk of 1993. Photography and watercolour was also used in the creation of this piece.

Creating art work from art work!, Happy Birthday Card for a friend.

Here are all my wrap pieces, created from my greetings cards. I wanted to start creating a range for each piece. i.e Card, gift tag, and wrap and the possibility of producing stationery.

Underneath I have created some Christmas cards, which are from my own printing and photography. On some on the cards I have cut back into the pieces making shapes, creating the impression of leaves. I have used other materials such as foil, ribbon and stitch over the Photoshop image. Finally I mount and stamp each card.
