I am a mixed media textile artist, inspired by nature and the natural world. Using free-motion machine embroidery, recycled materials and foraged dried plant fibers, I take ‘a no rules approach’ daring to push the traditional boundaries of machine sewing to a new level. Working intuitively and seeking fibers that ‘speak to me’ I use embroidery stitches sewn into a solvable fabric, trapping and embedding the materials using the sewing machine needle, just as an artist would use a pencil or paint brush.
These ethereal sculptures represent the very essence of the fragility of nature and life.
