The Arctic Circle was the starting point for my recent work. The awe inspiring images led me to experiment with the colours of the Midnight Sun and azure blue of the Fjords. Techniques used are silk and acrylic paint on both sheer and calico fabrics, using machine and hand embroidery.

Current work focuses on the collection of children's garments in the Warwick Museum, combining various techniques using fabric, paper and felted cloth made on an embellishing machine.
