Introduction

In my work I respond to land and seascapes, I use a unique combination of painting with  free machine stitch to capture the essense of the landscape around me. My training in woven textiles and painting instilled a passion for texture, line and colour, this along with my sketchbooks are the core of my work.

Statement

I combine drawn and painted marks with the tactile qualities of thread, paper and cloth. The essence of the landscape and natural forms inspire my work. I use drawing to record fleeting fragments observed and absorbed; I look at the familiar, see the extraordinary and respond to subtle changes in view in the rhythmic motion of walking. The evocative moods of seasonal change and atmospheric qualities of light and changing weather experienced when walking are a constant source of inspiration.

Scale of work ranges from individual hangings, wall mounted panels and framed textile artworks. I welcome invitations to give talks, workshops and courses.
