2016 Gold Award Winner Craft & Design Selected Maker – Textiles & Needlecrafts
I’m very pleased and excited to say that I will be exhibiting my textile artwork at Art in The Pen in Thirsk this July! I’ve nearly finished the second in a series of four new appliqués for this and have lots more work to do – obviously! (Already been to the framer’s this afternoon!) I’ll update this post with images and details of other events I’ll be exhibiting at this year -ASAP! Scurries back to sewing machine and sketchbooks……
I am a professional textile artist specializing in Appliqué and Free Motion machine stitching. In order to create a unique colour palette, I hand dye my own fabrics and then use these to create the landscapes and coastal scenes recorded in my sketchbook. I often incorporate recycled or vintage fabrics in my work - they add meaning to the story the work is telling. I love being so close to the Northumbrian coast and countryside and I especially like taking time walk and draw these stunning landscapes View more posts
