Made jewellery for over 30 years and been interested in textiles for even longer, and exhibited widely. Inspiration has come from living abroad plus natural textures. Now finally settled in Norfolk the pattern of the local landscape and the local flora and fauna feature strongly in the work.
Love the tactile qualities of both metal and fabric and the feeling of connection with past makers. Many of the tools used have scarcely changed in centuries and re-cycled fabrics are incorporated in the rag rugs and other textiles.
