She has been making and creating her whole life, but only recently has Katie Hedgman-Dalton started showing her art to the world.
Ms Hedgman-Dalton was one of the artists to take part in the recent Puanga exhibition, Then & Again, at Gallery On Guyton. Her eye-catching work, a group of ethereal jellyfish, was made almost entirely of repurposed materials: old dress patterns, scraps of wool and beads from an old necklace.
"The only thing that was new in the piece was the fairy lights."
Ms Hedgman-Dalton has recently completed a certificate in art and creativity at The Learning Connexion, which was her first foray into formal art study.
"I've been making and creating things for as long as I can remember, and I did art at school. But this is the first formal art study I've done since then."
