My first love is colour, which I use in my own, unique, recognisable way.  Line, shape and texture follow closely. My way of seeing is informed by my early study and practice of photography.
 
I work in series: music; Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets; nature; the urban environment; maps and aerial views; magic and science; the interpretation of ideas. 
 
Maps are an ancient and important part of mankind’s need to understand the world, and I have created many interpretations of them. Issues such as climate change have informed my work.
 
More recently, I have been experimenting with digital design, and my latest work reflects this.
 
In the end, what I want to express in my textile work, whatever the theme, is colour and beauty, and the pleasure of creation.
