The land is my abiding inspiration. Land exudes energies to nurture and influence the life it sustains. I use landscapes as a dramatic stage for presenting ideas, often reflecting some philosophical or social issue.

While developing my original idea, I reflect my world as I see it and, in this sense, my work is contemporary. But it is the stitching process which satisfies and links me back into the chain of human condition, firmly locating me within a needlework tradition.

The image of each work is airbrushed with dye onto whole cloth. This dyed top is always quilted, with sweeps and emphases designed to enhance the image. The gentle gathering of stitch creates a textured surface and gives greater depth and interest to the initial image.

Although I have trained in drawing and painting, I find a greater satisfaction in expressing my creative imagery in fabric. I enjoy the fall and flow of fabric, and its versatility.
