I work with hand made felt , dyed silk fibres, fabrics and hand and machine embroidery to create colourful pieces which include pictures, hats , bags and other accessories. My work is an expression of my Christian hope and my love of nature and frequently draws inspiration from the landscape , birds and flowers. Following a degree in textiles/ embroidery at Loughborough College of Art and Design, I spent several years teaching art at secondary level. For the past few years I have returned to pursuing my own creative expression more fully and have studied feltmaking. This has been both inspiring and releasing in coming to grips with the process , and discovering that gradually building up a piece is a way that naturally suits me. I hope you enjoy looking at these photos.
