UZES ROOFTOPS-SOUTH EAST 2025

This work is a stitched drawing made from sketches I did while in the small town of Uzes, in the Occitanie region of southern France. In the town centre there is a charming little medieval garden and tall tower which can be climbed for spectacular views of the area. I loved seeing all the clay rooftops, chimneys and greenery across the very picturesque landscape looking south east towards the river.

THREADY GORDES 2024

his work is a stitched drawing that references sketches I did while in the Provence village of Gordes, France. I love looking at the medieval buildings with their aged quirky lines and amazing history. Gordes is a popular and lovely hilltop village that I read about in many of Peter Mayle’s novelsand always wanted to visit. This view was captured as I was leaving. I decided to leave all the loose threads ends I usually tidy away to the back, out as they landed on the front. They create an unexpected texture and layer to the stitched lines of the image.
