Inspired by the landscape, my work explores the relationship we have with the natural world, and investigates ways of nurturing that connection: a search for a healing process through keeping in touch with the green.

I use natural materials, found objects and second-hand fabrics and yarns: things that are associated with the place from which my inspiration is derived. 

Using traditional craft techniques, I like to explore the possibilities of different materials, combining colours and textures with found objects to create an integrated effect. 

I use everyday materials in preference to the precious.  I hope that the making will transform them into something special.
