Dionne (Dee) Hood – a “lover of art, words and many sorts of creative nonsense” – is a mixed media artist and Development Officer for Bradford Libraries, encouraging people to use libraries in a range of creative ways, including using libraries as a space for displaying and responding to art.
Her own mixed media art work combines embroidery, collage, found items, precious metal clay and paper clay.
