About the Artist

I began my career as an artist working in the medium of woven tapestry, and more recently in painting and printmaking as well. My work in all of these media is about textiles in the broadest sense, and most often about the mending of textiles. My use of mending imagery explores a range of ideas, to do with an emotional response to the history implicit in visible damage, and with the kinds of beauty arrived at in the methods of mending it.
