My Story

Launched in 2018, Quiet Thunder is a celebration of creativity and everything that is beautiful in the world. My work is inspired by nature, celestial wonders, thought-provoking words, and even the mysteries of astro physics. It's a space where imagination flows freely, offering you something unique and thought-provoking with every piece.

My artwork has been exhibited internationally and, closer to home, at Touchstones Gallery in Rochdale. It has even been featured in Country Living Magazine. With over 30 years of experience teaching art, I’ve guided students of all ages, from children to teachers, and led projects that encourage reminiscence for older generations.

As one of four North West artists selected for an International Artists Exchange in America, I collaborated with fellow artists and educators to inspire young learners. My journey began with a degree in fine art embroidered textiles, but in 2009, I fell in love with silversmithing. I crafted a silver ring stamped with the names of my children, and since then, creating personalized jewellery has become a passion. I’m always moved by the stories my customers share with me.

Quiet Thunder Offers a Range of Thoughtful Creations
At Quiet Thunder, I design and make a variety of products that reflect my love for nature, art, and meaningful craftsmanship, including:

• Original artworks: Paintings, drawings, fine art prints, and mixed media pieces.
• Personalized Jewellery: Custom creations that tell your unique story.
• Organic Cotton Tees: Hand-stitched, hand-painted, or printed with meaningful designs like my signature Mind Over Matter tee, a gentle reminder to focus on positive thoughts.
• Everyday Treasures: Enamel mugs, photography, and more, all crafted with care and creativity.

Why Choose Organic Cotton?
When you choose organic cotton, you’re making a conscious, sustainable decision that benefits both you and the planet.

 

Here's why you can feel good about your choice:

• Environmentally Friendly: Organic cotton uses less energy, water, and produces fewer greenhouse gases compared to conventional cotton.
• Premium Quality: Strong, hypoallergenic, and gentle on the skin, organic cotton is a luxurious choice that lasts.
• Fair Working Conditions: Workers who produce GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified cotton are paid a fair living wage, ensuring ethical labour practices.

In a world dominated by fast fashion, it's important to think about the journey of the clothes we wear. By choosing organic cotton, you are supporting a more sustainable and ethical approach to fashion.
