Artist's Statement

I find myself captivated by the ability of simple stitches to create visual and textural impact and work both by hand and machine. I prefer to colour my own cloth or papers using various agents including dyes and acrylics. Where possible I source vintage or discarded fabric, threads and embellishments to re-imagine and re-purpose.

I work intuitively, influenced largely by my surroundings. Organic, natural forms are a favoured conceptual source.

I have exhibited throughout Norfolk and have participated annually in the Norfolk and Norwich Open Studios scheme. Alongside my membership of West Norfolk Artists Association, I am a founder member of mixed media collaborative, ‘Links & Layers’.

Recent Exhibitions Include

Links & Layers ‘Summer Exhibition’ Pensthorpe Natural Park, June 2019

As well as my teaching qualifications I hold an Open University B.A. degree and a City and Guilds Diploma in stitched textiles. Further examples of work can be seen on my website.
