Artist statement:
Living my entire life in the Lincolnshire countryside surrounded by flowers and nature has inspired me with the colours and shapes of the natural world. Consequently, I love bright colours and find the variation in texture and form that plants impart fascinating, which in turn influences my work.
Moreover, I am brimming with ideas and constantly creating things. In addition, I enjoy finding uses for unwanted fabrics and yarns. I relish the challenge of producing something beautiful and unusual from discarded scraps.
In this high-tech age of hustle and bustle, I find myself increasingly preoccupied with keeping alive the traditional sewing and knitting skills and values passed down to me. In addition, I believe these qualities should be preserved for future generations. While I dislike the throwaway society we have become, I wholeheartedly embrace the ‘make do and mend’ attitude that our ancestors believed in.
Finally, my original artwork disciplines mainly focus on painting (including my love of miniature paintings) and textile art (including creative knitting and hand embroidery). Furthermore, I enjoy designing luxury greeting cards.
