I am inspired by the places that I love,
including cities, canals, beaches and particularly the Isle of Skye. I am fascinated
by creating textured surfaces and curved, organic shapes. I am also interested
in exploring text and the vivid art of graffiti. My husband's many photos
of torn posters and street art are a constant source of
inspiration- their ephemeral nature and the hidden messages within
the shapes and colours.
Recent work combines modern technology- eg. printing digital images of street art onto fabric- with traditional patchwork and applique techniques.
