How would you describe the work you do and why?:

I create artwork from scraps of fabrics, handstitching the bits together to produce a recognisable subject. I love the tactile nature of textiles and the endless possibilities mixing up the patterns and shapes present.

For you what does being an artist mean?:

Being an artist means having an open and flexible mind, which allows for experimentation and freedom of expression in my chosen medium, textiles.

Describe what you call yourself/your practice?:

I am a textile artist and create hand-stitched collage pictures.

Your practice & activities include e.g workshops, teaching:

I focus on creating pictures. I am happy to demonstrate my practice but do not take workshops. By sharing progress of the pictures and what inspires my art I have built up a strong community worldwide on social media, of people who enjoy creative pursuits.

CV & Education, relevant & leading to your artistic practice:

I am self-taught.
