Pippa Hamilton is a freelance textile/mixed media artist based at Baildon. She has said of her artwork:
My artwork draws upon the natural and constructed landscape, specifically places I have visited. I spend time within the setting looking, thinking and recording what I see through the use of photography and sketching. I am engaged by the textures, colours and forms which the landscape presents and the impact of time and the elements as they affect change.
