I create textile art from discarded clothes and fabric scraps to utilise memories and colours worn and seen in my past, for my own pleasure. I begin with drawing a large shape or design and use a sewing machine to attach scraps to bring out the design. These are overlaid with hand cut shapes and machine embroidery as well as other embellishments to highlight details and develop the composition. Designs of India influence my interpretation which carry a rejoicing of nature and nurture.

My hope is to catch the eye of an observer and evoke some kind of wonder, perhaps even emotion.
