“My embroidery creates a wonderful marriage of texture, intricacy, and colour over ethereal, evocative watercolour paintings". Would you have believed that the evolution of this idea came from an old Victorian post-card? I found a 18th century technique and revived it into an exciting contemporary way. The captivating element was the combination of a painting with exquisite and luxurious texture.  I use a sewing machine and hand embroidery to embellish my paintings on paper which are adhered to canvas or board.
 Magic happens when two techniques converge and the rich but harmonious scene transmits a compelling experience or tells a story that links humanity with our relationship to the surrounding fragile environment. I want to stir an awareness of the grandeur of nature, its hidden properties, the innate qualities that symbolises importance to our everyday lives. My intention is to create poignant, positive art together with a distinctive style. We need reconnect to our environment and be aware of its inherent powers.
 My mission is to transmit positive and uplifting moods- to communicate with the power of art to transform our general emotion and attitude.  It is the route to heal, to understand and to contemplate our passage of life”
