My inspiration is broad.  The challenge lies in capturing the essence of the subject and translating it into a tapestry.  The tapestry itself, enables a moment to linger a little longer allowing it to be shared and interpreted by others.  

I use painting, drawing, collage, and samples to test an idea. I select yarns I feel are sympathetic to the theme.  

I have learnt to simplify designs, be patient and allow the tapestry itself to sometimes lead the way!

I studied a BSc (Hons) Textile Design and Technology at the University of Huddersfield before graduating with an MA from the Royal College of Art in 1995.
