Biography
I am a practising mixed media artist and tutor. I currently teach small groups from my own studio, and also larger groups in both the UK and across Europe. I have also exhibited both individually and as part of groups in the UK and in Europe. I have taught Masterclasses at Festival of Quilts and worked as the Studio Manager with Leslie Morgan at Committed to Cloth.
Coming from a creative family, I have been ‘making’ for as long as I can recall. I have travelled extensively around the world, and lived in several different countries. This has all shaped and enhanced my artistic practice. Excited by all forms of fibre, my creative journey has included quilt making, dyeing, hand and machine stitching.
My current practice focuses on Japanese Shibori techniques with Indigo dyeing. In 2024 I spent time in Japan studying with various Indigo/natural dye masters. I also use origami techniques with vintage maps, paper and cloth. Botanical printing on both fabric and paper is also an area of focus for my practice and teaching. Hand stitching will always be my first love and sometimes it feels like my hands have an in built memory! The outcome of my practice takes the form of wall art, books and vessels.
