How would you describe the work you do and why?:
I am a self-taught knitter and crocheter. Equally at home with yarn or wire, I make warming blankets and scarves, colourful toys, as well as delicate and intricate jewellery.
For you what does being an artist mean?:
I love the opportunity to work with different yarn colours and textures as well as seeing what I can create with wire. It is incredibly versatile and I am always striving to create something new and unique.
