Artistic Practice
I make a small journal quilt every month to trial design, materials or techniques. I make wall hangings using applique, piecing, mixed media and quilting skills, and smaller pieces in machine embroidery. Inspiration comes from modern and medieval architecture, patterns in tiles and textiles, and I use bright colours.
Artistic History
My textile history began with garment making skills, continued with creative embroidery, followed by patchwork and quilting. I teach embroidery and quilt making to adults, write for magazines, and have 2 books published.
I enter textiles into national competitions and juried entry exhibitions in the UK, Europe and USA.
