Girl - Move on - mixed media & stitch
Bathing Beauties - mixed media & stitch
“My practice is very varied I use drawing and mixed media to explore a range of subjects from objects and human form to abstract. My love of drawing is almost always the starting point for my work but surface, colour and mark making are also important elements in my work. I use the sewing machine as a drawing tool and I love the way the stitches both pierce the work and join the layers.”
