Having had an interest in embroidery for most of my life and attending leisure classes in embroidery for many years, I embarked on City & Guilds Creative Embroidery in 1995 and now attend Cherrilyn Tyler's Master Class in Textile Art and Embroidery at Longslade College and belong to the Visions Group of Textile Artists.

Currently my work is inspired by Roman mosaics. I make fabrics using small scraps and threads left over from other pieces of work; these are then painted and stitched, cut up to form the design, and then stitched again.
