About Me

 

With a strong foundation in textiles including a Masters degree in knitted textile design from the University of Huddersfield and a PhD developing novel cleaning technologies from the University of Leeds, I have taken my working knowledge of the arts and textile industries and applied it to work with the community to design and deliver creative workshops for over 20 years.

My art practice and research are focussed on sculptural textiles and mixed media pieces that are inspired by the landscape, history and folklore of both Yorkshire and the Orkney islands using natural dyes, found objects, print and paint.
