My earliest memories are of excitement at handling new textures, understanding pattern and colour in textiles. This led to a career spanning more than thirty years in textile design and manufacturing, latterly specialising in the innovation of sustainable woven textiles
I now have the time to concentrate on developing my artwork; discovering new techniques to express my creative ideas through the use of different media to explore and manipulate colour and texture.
Using encaustic painting applied and then heated to change the surface shapes and textures, the blending of paints and inks to find out what may develop when applied to different surfaces and dyeing techniques alongside the fun of combining fabrics and yarns I have collected over many years, together culminating in an ever expanding collection of artwork.
