The foundation of my work is embroidery and related techniques. I work mainly in silks, unspun or in fabric form. Fabrics and fibres are hand dyed with either chemical or natural dyes.

Silk fibres are felted to create grounds to work into using hand and machine embroidery and the embellisher machine. Papers and found objects are also used. Fabrics are manipulated to create interesting textures and patterns.

My recent works are fairly large unframed wall pieces with colours and textures taken from land and seascapes of the West Coast of Scotland and landscapes of the South of France and Finland.

Smaller works are usually framed.

I work to commission making domestic and church work. I am an active exhibiting member of Edge - Scottish Textile Artists Group. I have exhibited widely in Scotland, England and France and am on the list
of Artists who work for the Church of Scotland.
