Description for Website

I am a prolific artist and would love to share my vibrant, uplifting art and craft work in my lovely home . I create art from fabric waste and recycled textiles and am a passionate believer in sustainability .You will be able to see fabric collages wall art, stitched collages, colourful bowls, rag rugs, fabric necklaces, high quality greeting cards and examples of wearable art in the form of jackets,waist coats etc , all from textile waste.
My working studio is in my home and you will be able to see it with some work in progress! I am happy to do brief demonstrations!
I am a public speaker with many talks, all related to textile sustainability,my art work , my passion of travel and my profession of a Medical Doctor, specialising in Histopathology.
Images of my work have appeared in international calendars, magazines , journals etc.
I was awarded British Empire Medal BEM in King Charles birthday honours in 2023, for promoting fabric art, sustainability and charity.
All profits from any sales are donated to various charities in UK and India.
I have had many solo and group art exhibitions in various parts of UK.
I am a retired Hospital consultant, but have always been interested in art.
I have had no formal training in art, apart from a weekend workshop, but I believe that this gives me a fresh, free, uninhibited perspective to art , in which there are no rules!
I moved to Brookmans park , a beautiful part of Hertfordshire, just 3 years ago and love it here.
