Hilary Grayson

I am a visual textile and mixed media artist working from my garden studio in North Milton Keynes, tucked under the Grand Union Canal.

For me, making a painting is like having a conversation with the canvas. I never really know where it will end up when I start. It is similar to setting out on a journey without a map. I allow the colours, textures, and forms to flow naturally, engaging in a dialogue that unfolds organically.

I am also known for my eclectic range of original stitched paper lampshades which often incorporate recycled materials including old book pages and vintage lampshade frames.

I also have a range of printed textile goods manufactured in a small studio in Leek from original paintings.
