My art pieces are not set in one theme. In fact I’ve covered animals, landscapes and flowers, historic artefacts and outsider art. I visit many parts of Derbyshire and other picturesque villages and towns which really helps and inspires me and my ideas. Textile arts gives me a way to express myself and experiment and it really is a constant learning curve. I work in my sewing studio which is spacious, light and calm in my home town. I use various techniques in all of my pieces including quilting, machine stitching and embroidery, hand embroidery, mixed media and weaving. I like to use batiks, hand dyed and vintage fabrics and threads. I hope you enjoy my work.
