...Textile Artist.....Tutor....Trainer...

I'm an experienced textile artist and qualified teacher providing participatory creative sessions in venues, from parks to primary schools, tepees to tents, church halls to care homes, hospitals to holiday centres.

I especially enjoy enabling and inspiring others to be creative; facilitating connections through creativity and firmly believe that participating in creativity can enhance wellbeing.

I create colourful textile and mixed media artwork that often has a strong narrative, exploring aspects of my faith. Many of these images are available in greetings cards.

I also take commissions for contemporary ecclesiastical stoles.

I'm happiest when I'm stitching, writing, or with my head in a good book! If none of these is an option, then a walk by the sea, through the woods, or in the Peak District would be a good alternative. Other than that, it's the simple pleasures of nature...flowers, rainbows, colours or baking that feeds my soul.
