Inspiration
Living close to the South Downs, the landscape provides a constant source of inspiration for my
stitched textile designs.  My theme, ‘A Sense of Place’ records memorable journeys and locations,
using fabric, stitch and texture. Architectural structures, textures, and patterns also provide a
wealth of ideas which I enjoy exploring.

Design
I record my ideas with sketch, torn paper collage and my camera is always on hand.

Browse my Gallery for a wide range of designs.

A  book about my work is available. ‘Layer, Paint and Stitch’
