Textile Art

My inspiration primarily originates in Northumberland and Cumbria where I explore nature.  I photograph the colours, patterns and textures,  these are used to inform my textile artwork.

The exploration of colour and texture is further developed through dyeing fabrics, threads and textured yarns, I combine colours using variegated dyeing techniques.  French knots are my favourite way of adding texture within hand embroidery and are incorporated into many pieces of my work
