I am an artist painting and creating based in Whitstable. I used to work for the NHS providing MRI scans to patients and also as a veterinary nurse for 4 years, but after being diagnosed with autism in 2019, I decided to change my life totally and do something I love.

Ann Lloyd

Hello. My name is Ann, I’m 45 and I live in Margate with my family. I enjoy creating objects in ceramics, drawing and multi-media work. A lot of my pieces relate to memory and family.

Archie Archer

Archie Archer

Hi, I’m Archie lovely to say hello. I make greeting cards using sea glass that I find on the beaches in Kent. I live on a little boat in Sandwich with my dog Bolt. My range of cute sea glass cards started in the Summer of 2018 whilst walking my Labrador 'Bolt' on the sunny beaches in Margate. Like a magpie I began collecting sea glass. Today I forage my sea glass in picturesque Folkestone. The glass is more tumbled as the beaches are stony. This sea glass tumbling malarkey takes many years...
