About the Artist
I completed my degree
in printed textiles in 1983 at Liverpool College of Art, and from there went
into teaching. My career included
twelve years at St. Bedes College, Manchester.
Deciding to leave
teaching and devote more time creating my own work, I successfully completed a
four-year City and Guilds course in Creative Embroidery at the Bury Arts and
Crafts Centre.
I am now a successful
artist based in the North of England and exhibiting and selling my work at
several local galleries.
My work consists of
both machine and hand embroidery, which is sometimes combined in a single piece
of work. Most of the fabrics I use I
have dyed, painted or transfer printed, giving a richer surface on which to
work. I have used bonding techniques
and also make my own paper and felt. I
am able to work to a range of scales, from 10cm squares to metre length wall
hangings, utilising a variety of techniques.
