I have lived in Lady Bay for 20 years and taught fine art and art textiles in local schools and in London.
I have a degree in Textile Design obtained at Leeds University.

Recently I decided the time was right to return to my own work and take a good look at  textiles again.  I have been exploring the felt making process and found it to be a fascinating and versatile medium in which to work.  I have been using the woolen fibres in  the same way that a  fine artist uses paint, to create detail and  texture.

I have been exploring a variety of subject matter but am mainly interested in natural forms and landscapes.  My most recent pieces have been developed from photos I took in Sherwood Forest on a  bitterly cold winters day.  I have tried to capture the light effects through the silver birches and the subtle winter colours.
I create my pictures by using very fine layers of fibres which gives a delicate and translucent quality to the finished piece.

I am still very much in the learning process and hope to continue to develop and explore this medium.
