I am a textile artist and have, over a number of years been both intrigued by the flexibility and complexity of fibres. My skills as a maker and designer have developed during my degree training as well as teaching Art, Design & Technology and this latter role as an educator has informed my own creative understanding. I am a member of Visualise Textile Art group. http://www.visualise.online. We have a regular exhibition programme that aims to celebrate diverse application of the textile media. We have a mentor who engages each member in creative dialogues periodically throughout the year. Our current tutor/mentor is Nigel Cheney.
I look towards the land and sea for inspiration and natures flawless artworks. My art explores and exploits textile materials and I use stitch and dyes to express imagery on silk, paper and embellished felt.
