Chesterfield / Textile Art

Opening days

Saturday 27th May
Sunday 28th May
Monday 29th May

I am driven by the joy of creating objects of beauty which will transcend time. The background for my work is my love for the arts, music and literature which I all persue in my spare time. I have been making quilts since 1988 and I still believe a quilt should warm body and soul. In my recent work however I am more and more interested in integrating other artistic techniques, like painting, dyeing, eco prints and felting. I love to play with colours and different materials and have started to dye and print my own fabrics. Usually I do a rough sketch as a starting point but then the project seems to take over as I am progressing and I develop more detailed ideas. The material I use has to be complementary with the theme I am working on. I am exploring different ways of conveying complex and evocative meanings. I have exhibited my work at shows and I am running workshops.

Will undertake commissions
