Born in Dorset, gained a degree in woven textiles at West Surrey College of Art and design (Farnham), and trained to teach art at University of Cardiff. Taught at private school in Bournemouth before marrying and moving to Wales in 1982.

 

Worked in a studio in Cowbridge for 5 years making patchwork wall hangings and commissions until moving to Pembrokeshire in 1992.

 

‘My work has always been influenced by textiles and colour is very important in my work. I am fascinated with the shadows and the effect they have on colours. I tend to work in series and my style varies depending on the subject matter.

 

My work has been published and featured

in 'the artist and illustrators magazine,

the Western mail, wales online, and my textiles won a prize in the National Eisteddfod .

I was also part of a portrait challenge on 'the One show ' held in St Davids and my work has been included in the Artes Mundi 'Welsh collection....and selected for the Wales Contemporary exhibition 2020.

 

I have recently been inspired by aboriginal art in my collage work using bottle tops and buttons to create images using combinations of colours to get an overall intensity of colour......

Artwork is painted onto 9mm thick plywood with a 2inch black frame, suitable for indoor display & will last for around 2 year’s outside, much longer if in a sheltered position, the artwork is varnished & robust.
