My textile art celebrates the visual drama that is present in the natural world and aims to evoke the emotion, awe, and wonder I experience when I’m exposed to these elements.

My work combines the disciplines of traditional textile crafts with the visual arts; painting, decorative arts and design. I combine ink pastel blocks and water and acrylic paint on cotton fabric, drawing objects with aqua pencils and embellishing the design with hand and machine embroidery.  The artwork is framed in rattan, has wooden stretchers and stitched in with embroidery threads giving it a natural organic tribal aesthetic.
