I have always loved working with threads and fabric and my work is inspired through my travels and life experience. I create pieces, large and small in mixed media and stitch, using recycled materials and luxurious scraps of fabric. With the leftover pieces and found objects I design accessories that are unique and individual.
In 2007, I staged an exhibition at The Dolphin Surgery in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. The work was produced while I was recovering from major surgery and the exhibition was short listed for a major, national award, 'Building Better Healthcare'.
My art is also inspired through my experiences of living and working in Africa. I am a qualified teacher and currently work in a school in North London alongside teaching workshops for a multi-cultural development agency and independently in primary and secondary schools. I introduce children to art from different cultures including feltmaking, stitch and mixed media techniques.
