Once upon a time I tried to be a serious artist making deep and meaningful work. Now I am going backwards and returning to my childhood creating colourful fabric wall hangings that just make me happy. I love colour and pattern and although not a highly skilled needleworker I find creating images with material and thread far more enjoyable than facing that blank canvas with paint. The pieces are often inspired by words or songs which I combine with naive imagery to make work in a spontaneous unafraid way, not overthinking the design or trying to get it right. My ultimate aim is for something joyful and fun. I hope you enjoy them too.
