I create three-dimensional highly textured embroideries. My ranges encompass items such as handbags, jewellery, shoes, wall art and lampshades.

My creations start to grow with the hand dyed base fabric, which is usually silk or merino wool. To this many techniques are added, often overlapping one on top of the other and this is where the magic happens…Techniques such as devoré, appliqué, felting, heat manipulation, freehand machine embroidery, batik, wire work and bead work. Highly textured layers are stitched often to distort the work leaving it innovatively manipulated, which creates maximum impact in the end production.

Both the shoe and cup sculptures now sit in bespoke terrarium-like enclosures with invisible wall mountings. (See sculpture section.)

Lampshade wire bases are all made from recycled materials.

I hope you enjoy my site. (last Modified Sept 30th 2009)
