Artistic Practice
My work is inspired by stories, films and surroundings which are embedded in colour, texture and pattern.
My work explores mixed media incorporating stitch, fabric, paper and ephemera in many forms. My passion is for books and their covers.
My Art Journalling moves from paper and canvas to wall hangings.
