About me
I trained as a primary school teacher and later became a church administrator. Now I concentrate on all things creative including facilitating a course on Creativity.
I have taken part in many courses and workshops which have increased my skills and knowledge of techniques.
After successfully completing City & Guilds Creative Embroidery, I continued to work with textiles until Art Journaling and Mixed Media called. I particularly enjoy making books and have taught online workshops on altered books and themed books.
About my work
My return to textile art came through making a fabric and mixed media book and I am now exploring the combination of my mixed media and creative embroidery skills.
Over the past few years I have focussed on series of work based on Venice, Florida and Canals.
I have produced several wall hangings using fabric I have printed using breakdown printing. These have been inspired by the walks alongside canals in the Midlands with my husband. The pieces were included in the recent Eclectica Textile Group exhibition at the Museum of Cannock Chase and featured in the newspaper Towpath Talk. I have also made fabric books.
My most recent work has been inspired by maps. These pieces have included breakdown printed fabric, Thermofax screen printing, machine stitch, hand stitch and mixed media. I have made collages and books as well as a wall hanging.
