She is a Cheshire based artist who specialises in mixed media, textile based pieces. She takes her inspiration from a variety of sources and she is particularly interested in the way in which ancient societies created a series of visual symbols to represent the things which were important to them. She investigates myth and legend and draw parallels between societies, showing that although many people have different beliefs we are all united by visual iconography.
She has exhibited widely both in group and solo shows both here and abroad and has had articles published in magazines and on the internet. She also features in Kim Thittichai's book, 'Experimental Textiles'. Her work has won prizes at The Ferens Open, The Potteries Open and the Grosvenor Open Exhibitions.
She has received positive feedback from the galleries where she has exhibited as she tries to make her work accessible to all age ranges and to people from different backgrounds. Viewers, especially younger people, respond to the visual richness of the objects whilst others make connections with their own religious beliefs and feelings.
Her workshop on the 3rd October is Fantastic Flowers
A sewing machine, fabrics, soldering iron and glue gun are needed for this workshop. You will learn how to bond fabric together in order to create an intensely coloured piece of material which will be made into a 3D flower with a padded centre.
