After finishing my panel about my Granma, I started on Mums scroll, I have fond memories of her helping me with my textile work back in the 1990s, when I started constructing hangings of various sizes out of mini cushions. I was working full time with two young children and I used to machine theContinue reading “The Continuing Journey”

Connecting Threads
It’s been nearly a year since I last connected with you and I apologise for that but I have to admit that I’ve become quite disillusioned with social media in general lately. However this feels the perfect moment to update you on what I’ve been doing over the last year, my original intention was toContinue reading “Connecting Threads”
After a long break…….
Well actually it’s been more than a while, since I posted on this site but I’m planning to rectify that now. Life has taken over somewhat with personal and health issues, for the last three years, some lovely, happy events but some family problems which have been very difficult and my art has had toContinue reading “After a long break…….”
It’s been a while!
It’s been a while since I last posted unfortunately, I’ve been unwell and also working as a coach for an online art course since June, so I’ve not been as creative as I would like.

This March when the roadmap out of lockdown was announced in the Uk, the wedding was postponed yet again, so I decided toContinue reading “What a difference a few weeks make!”
The Magic of Black & White
It has been a cold and snowy week here in the Uk, which is not something we get very often, so when it does happen, we have to make the most of it, so I’ve had lots of stunning walks with my labrador Tilly, just enjoying the sheer beauty of the transformation of my worldContinue reading “The Magic of Black & White”
A new year and a new focus
It’s been a long time since I posted a Studio Notes, there are lots of possible excuses that I could use such as ill health but the honest truth is that as well as not being well, that I felt I’d lost touch with my art practice, then the Covid lockdown started in March 2020,Continue reading “A new year and a new focus”
