About the Artist:

From childhood, I have always enjoyed being creative; drawing and embroidery mainly. From school, I trained as a nurse and was a Ward Sister for 7 years. After 17 years as a nurse and 10 more as a full time mother, I decided it was time to develop my creative potential. I took a degree in Textiles, gaining a First in 2006. During my final year, I worked mainly with found materials, especially beach debris and driftwood.
I enjoy using materials which have a history, and love art with an element of fun and the unexpected.
