As a Textile Artist I work
generally with old, used or damaged fabrics bringing to them a new life, in the
form of images that evoke memories and an appreciation of traditional
materials.

I have recently started working in 3-D, referring to my work as "Stitched Sculpture". Working with a needle and thread "in the round" is exciting, a learning experience and an interesting challenge.
I have an infatuation with textiles
made from natural materials; I consider them to be almost a living species. Certainly, they were all living before
manufacture and I feel that movement and adornment only enhances their
lives. As "living forms", textiles
deserve respect.
I have exhibited
at Butlers Wharf and The Mall Galleries, London, and throughout East Anglia. I
am a member of Suffolk Open Studios. One of my pieces, a beaded baseball cap,
is featured in "Bead Embroidery" by Val Campbell-Harding.
