I first encountered tapestry weaving at Edinburgh College of Art where I was a student. From learning the technique there, I have continued to attend numerous short courses by Louise Martin, which has helped me to extend my techniques. More recently I have been increasingly experimental with my weaving which I plan to develop further. I also enjoy printmaking which can influence my tapestry weaving.
My subject matter comes from my love of nature and the natural world especially the coastline.
