I create work to share what I see and imagine as I explore and observe the world around me.
Drawing is how I process what I see, through my personal multi-hued lens. Colour makes me happy, it enlivens and brings me joy.
As much as I love drawing, working with threads and fabrics is where I feel most creative and expressive.
Much of my stitching is done on my trusty old Bernina. It’s not a fancy computerized or digitally preprogrammed thing; it's just a basic domestic sewing machine that I use as a drawing tool.
It’s a really playful and free way of creating a line and building up textures, patterns, and shapes in my work.
Originally from England, I do love to chat over a cup of tea, but stitching my colourful pieces is how I hope to share the feelings of joy and wonder of life.

This video shows how I work, using the sewing machine as my drawing tool. I stitch freely onto the fabric, building up the threads to create my artwork, Garden Sewers .
