MY WORK

My work is usually a response to something visual or tactile that catches my eye. It is about close up investigation, abstraction, colour and textural qualities.
My interpretation is created by fragmenting, assembling and collaging. I like to be experimental and inventive in the mixing and use of a wide range of media.
I hope to communicate to the viewer something of what inspired me through the image I produce.

The final piece is on reinforced painted & burned calico incorporating collage with paper, dyed and printed fabrics,photographs transferred onto fabrics and quilted, painted and dyed papers, hand stitch,free machine embroidery and bead embellishment.
