Since completing her City and Guilds Qualification in Textiles, Design and Embroidery, Maria Tarn has worked and exhibited with the TX Group of artists in Frodsham for over 5 years. Initially her photographs/sketches of places she had visited are interpreted to form the basis of a range of canvas based textile work, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool.
Following some exhibitions, she was invited to lead workshops about art techniques at the Cheshire West Teachers' Conferences and to staff in a local nursery which have all been well received.
As a member of the Markmakers group, she works from The Hazlehurst Studios, based in the High Street of Runcorn Old Town. A lifetime passion for art and crafts inspired her to turn her hobby into a commercial activity.
