Quiet Thunder Creative

Creativity, commissions and community. I created Quiet Thunder back in 2018 as an outlet for my creativity and a celebration of all that is beautiful in the World. It focuses on the beauty of the natural world, words which resonate and inspire, celestial wonders, the Heavens and anything which gets the grey matter moving, including the odd bit of astro physics! I was one of four North West Artists to participate in an International Artists Exchange to America, working with artists and educators in Early Years Settings. My degree is in fine art embroidered textiles but in 2009 I attended a short course in silversmithing and made a silver ring upon which I stamped the names of my children. I love making personalised pieces of jewellery and I’m intrigued by the stories my customers share. Quiet Thunder encompasess a range of things that I design and make including: •original art work •paintings •drawings •fine art prints •personalised jewellery •mixed media pieces. The humble tee shirt is also a staple of the range, always made from organic cotton and either hand stitched, hand painted or printed. The first tee shirt that I designed was the Mind Over Matter one - which I created as a gentle reminder to myself and nudge about trying to see the positives in life. Why should you be proud to buy and wear organic cotton? Environmentally friendly – production uses less energy, releases fewer greenhouse gases and uses less water Premium quality – strong and robust, hypoallergenic and better for the skin Fair working conditions – workers who create GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified cotton products are paid a fair living wage In a world of fast fashion we need to consider the journey of the clothing we wear. Let’s hope there is more understanding of the consequences of mass-produced fabrics and the pride we can all enjoy in choosing to wear organic cotton.
