I draw and stitch the world around me – as I see it. I work as a designer/maker and teach workshops in hand stitching and drawing. Stitching by hand is slow and expensive to make and sell, so I mainly work to commission for both private clients and commercial companies.
I regularly exhibit and talk about my own stitched work, it is the foundation of all my professional work. This is when I can develop my own ideas and new techniques – without deadlines. It is rarely for sale, but I now sell giclee prints of existing images and customised drawn and stitched giclee prints.
