I work in multiple disciplines using mixed media on textiles and paper to create experimental abstract wall pieces, jewellery and print.
My work is intuitive with a love of colour and texture enjoying the dictates and guidance of the materials finding inspiration from landscape, place and objects, from experiences gained through travel and from emotion triggered by everyday events.
Recent works explore recurring themes from travel as a forces child, as a student and in my early career through exhibiting abroad, these themes merge with images and memories from dreams.
Whilst I like to experiment and introduce new media and technologies into my working process as and when they arise I am compelled to add hand or machine stitch into the pieces as a 'nod' to my roots, as child being shown how to get creative with fabric by my mother (herself qualified in fashion and textiles) and through having gained a First Class Hons degree in embroidery at Loughborough and an MA in textiles at the Royal College of Art.
I welcome commissioned pieces having worked for many years with the corporate and private sector on large scale works.
