We Have to Start Somewhere

Fibre wall art | 11x14"

"I have always been fascinated by form and texture, and this drew me to fibre as a medium. I learned to sew as a child and pursued fashion design in my 20s. When designing clothing I often added surface design to the pieces I made. Later as I decided to move from clothing design into a more hands on practice, I experimented with weaving, felting and embroidery.

I am inspired by the textures and shapes found in nature and this reflects in my work. I use an intuitive process of building colour, form and texture using traditional craft techniques to create abstract art pieces. Each piece is built in layers that invite touch."
