I work with textiles, stitch, mosaic and paper, taking inspiration from the natural world, and using found materials to express the marks, textures and qualities I find. My ideas come from drawing, collage and constructed surfaces and i love moving between media and processes to discover different ways of using the same subject matter, for example stitched textiles inspire my mosaics and pieced wallhangings can also become bags.
Much of my working life has been in higher education in the arts, encouraging students to learn through making and identify personal interests to develop their own individual style of working.
