She says, “Art is my religion and my therapy and very personal. It is evolving daily with a force all of its own.” Art is everything and for everyone. Therapy, pure escapism and enjoying the process as much as the result. Creating something out of nothing, something which resonates with the viewer without any agenda. Every artwork has been created with insight, passion, emotion, and thought. Through highly textured, strong, almost sculptural works to the softer, more delicate works. Joey discovered a love for large-scale, colour, and texture, through her early sign design and illustration commissions. All her works evoke memories, mixed emotions, and make connections, often on a subconscious level, to allow the viewer to be part of the work itself. Your very own journey of discovery. Joey Parkin’s works are a raw and honest portrayal of people, nature, and everything in between. Each piece is stripped back to reveal secrets behind the shades. They are truly original, with no prints existing. Raw and honestLINCOLNSHIRE TODAY 17 THE LITTLE RED GALLERY Love art? Then we’d love to meet you, please call in for a cup of tea and a chat.

A decade of an extension of your property and a place for you, your family, and your friends to enjoy. We provide the full package of garden design and garden construction. As we provide the entire service, we can ensure that you get an outdoor space that works for you and is within your budget. I love to create a design that will transform a garden and provide the wow factor. When I first started providing garden designs, they were all hand drawn but in recent years we have moved to digital, and alongside the traditional 2D design we can now provide 3D visuals so you can see what the garden will look like once it is complete. We all work together to provide high- quality customer service and ensure that I t was ten years ago that I wrote my first editorial for Lincolnshire Today. I hope that over the last decade, you have found my articles helpful and informative. I know that gardening is not for everyone but maybe I have inspired some readers to get outside and give it a try. To celebrate this milestone, I thought I would unashamedly use it as a promotion for my company, Fullers Landscaping. I am very proud of the family business that has grown over the last 22 years. It started as just me carrying out garden maintenance and forestry projects, to become an award- winning garden design and construction business that currently employs 12 people.
