My work is mainly textile & print based , hand embroidered quilts & hangings depicting the everyday from kitchen utensils to my garden and Ford Escort . Manipulation of surface and the effects that can be created by varities of (simple) sticth and cloth are also important considerations in my textile work. They range in size from 30cms x 30cms to 3m x 2m .

My print works is in the form of etchings & aquatints prodominanty small scale and reflect the same themes as my textiles .
