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”
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. It was a real honour to be asked by Uk artist Louise Fletcher, to be a coach for a secondContinue reading “It’s been a while!”
What a difference a few weeks make!
I’ve been working on these two panels during March, they originally were made for the wedding of my daughter, Tori, in June 2020, which unfortunately was postponed until June this year 2021. 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!”

I’ve never been called this before!!…
An artist friend today has called me “inspiring and indomitable” , apparently it describes my pursuance of art, in the face of recent adversity perfectly, these are not words that I’d not associate with myself, sometimes it takes others to show us aspects of ourselves , that we don’t realise on our own. I actuallyContinue reading “I’ve never been called this before!!…”
Busy doing something
I think I’m getting there!!!
I haven’t posted for a while as I’ve been busy painting and I must admit I’ve found it hard after the CVP program finished, however Louise Fletcher (check out her website I love her art) set up a group called CVP Redo. We are revisiting each week of CVP but this time taking two weeksContinue reading “I think I’m getting there!!!”
Disaster fortnight…. Cautionary note about dyes!!
In my previous textiles life, I’ve always enjoyed dyeing with procion MX dyes, to produce my own palette of cloth to work with, I just loved the sight of these brightly coloured hand-dyed fabrics drying on the clothes line. The photo is one of my textile pieces, it is 2m square, made up of tinyContinue reading “Disaster fortnight…. Cautionary note about dyes!!”
