Biography

I would class my work as narrative, an illustrative/storytelling form of textile art. I originally trained as an illustrator and this has always been the bedrock of my work with fabric. 

I consider myself fortunate to be able to make a living from doing something I have enjoyed since childhood.

I enjoy all aspects of my work, it has taken me to various parts of the country and some my work is owned by private collectors in England, France and the Americas.
