My current work explores themes and observations of the natural world whilst reflecting my concern about what the future may hold for the planet and everything living on it.  I research both the big picture and the tiny detail, by reading, sampling, and by working in my sketchbooks.  Whilst my work starts as concrete thoughts, the representation is always abstract - intertwining the visual memories, the history, the repetitions and patterns, the colours and textures to converge in textile based art work.

​

I build up layers by various forms of printing, painting, collage and stitch.  The repetition of marks is important to me, a visual reflection of the process of mark making and stitching, allowing my mind to wander in meditation.
