Details
I believe in working sustainably and use recycled and repurposed materials whenever I can. I am currently using textiles and painted images in abstracts and portraiture
To explore using stitch to convey an image with a concept that is thought provoking.
I am primarily a hand stitcher. I use a variety of techniques of hand and machine, applique, felting, quilting. I paint on fabrics. I am also a painter of landscape and abstracts in gouache and acrylics.
Workshops and talks about my work. Commissioned work includes a set of wall hangings for a Church and some bookbinding.
Started on an Access to arts course at Malvern, then City and Guilds in hand embroidery.
Various workshops at Bath Textile Summer School
Theatr Twm o'r Nant, Denbigh.
Church panels now on permanent display at Llanynys Church, Dyffryn Clwyd, North Wales.
