Creative Textiles

I enjoy making handmade silk papers then combining them with other fabrics and textures, together with the embellishment of machine embroidery and hand stitch to create 3D and 2D pieces.

My research explores textiles, art and photography to give a fusion of styles and ideas to create a contemporary version, embracing traditional and new techniques.

My inspiration comes from various natural sources, from scenes within the landscape to close observation of natural organic items.
My latest work incorporates eco dyed fabrics and papers.
