AN artist took her love of penguins one step further when she decided to name her business after her favourite animal.

Helen McNicholas, from Burtonwood, launched The Penguin Tree, which sells hand-made paper cut designs and craft items, last summer while she was still working as a lecturer in art and design.

The mum-of-two will be running two paper-cutting workshops next Sunday, March 30, at Chester Zoo at part of the Bloom Festival.
