My work over the last over the last few years has been split between exhibiting and working on large ecclesiastical commissions.

My subjects range from personal experience of tragedy and togetherness, the landscape and the environment, nature and its challenges, stories from history, my passion for the movement of dance, and the aesthetic beauty of religious iconography.

My approach to any new project or brief is completely open minded. I research each the subject deeply. Then through the exploration of different textile techniques and mediums, along with the use of print, drawing, felting, dying, and photography, I endeavour to capture the essence of my chosen theme.

I work with fabrics from rich and beautiful silks to old and recycled or even eco dyed cloth, along with a large and varied range of threads.

I don’t limit myself to any sewing techniques, employing both hand and machine embroidery or to any form happily working with both in 2D and 3D.

My work is generally graphic in style.
