My work is inspired by my love of landscape and nature and of the changes caused by the passage of time-- “pleasing decay”. The North York Moors with their sheep and old waymarking stones, the woodlands of Lancashire, the old abbeys are sources for my work which are based on my sketches and photographs.
I use both free machine stitching and hand stitching combined with paints, dyes, applied fabrics and handmade papers to suggest the colours and textures of the landscape.
