Textile art is a wonderful creative journey of exploration and expression. I love the rich colours and the tactile materials, the visual characteristics of different threads and stitches and the endless combinations of different materials available to work with.
I try to work in a painterly way often using the human form or features from the natural landscape as my inspiration. I work from both personal photographs and observational studies. The subject matter usually directs the piece of work and indicates whether to use machine and /or hand stitch.
I am a member of Tangent Textiles, Sutton Coldfield Society of Artists and Sutton Coldfield Creative Stitchers. I also am a friend of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.
My work has been exhibited in both England and Wales.
