Textile Artist<\/h3>\r\nI am a decorative textile artist living and working in the West Midlands, UK.\r\n\r\nMy main inspiration for my most recent artworks stems from my fascination with the universe, however I have been stitching and creating textile artworks for many years and I have been influenced by a myriad of themes and topics.\r\n\r\nMy grandma Rose was a huge influence on my love of stitching and making. She was an amazing influence in my life and she taught me how to first thread a needle and tack cloth squares together to produce a simple patchwork quilt. She was a self-taught crafter herself and she passed onto me her own unique traditional hand crafted lacemaking techniques. I am so grateful to her for passing her knowledge, techniques and skills onto me in my younger years and although she is not with us these days, I still feel a strong connection with her as I stitch and create my own textile pieces.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
