Textile artist

To see is to wonder; to create is to reveal an inner vision.

my Story
As a textile artist I specialise in creating unique and intricate quilt art.

I want to turn up the quiet.
 
I have lived all over the world and always found refreshment in the beauty of nature which I seek to portray through my work with textiles.  I am fascinated by the contradictions of nature which is both powerful and fragile, lush and stark, rough and smooth, unchanging and yet temporary.
 
My art quilt journey was initiated by a need to break from the planned and precise world of traditional patchwork in order to express myself freely. Inspired by the brushwork of Impressionism, I use textiles, thread and paint to explore the feeling of being immersed in nature. 
 
My art invites viewers to slow down and to be present in the moment; to experience the peace and wonder of the natural world and reflect on their own connections.

Feel free to browse the gallery and explore the different themes, each with their own story. 

Many of these quilts have been exhibited around the world including the European Patchwork Meeting and in various U.S exhibitions.
