Maker's bio

I am an artist and designer, living and working near Ely. Having been a professional designer for all of my working life, I now create artwork and surface patterns inspired by a love of decorative and historical design. I find joy experimenting with different colour palettes and enjoy the challenge of adding hand and free motion embroidery to my paper collages to add detail and texture. For me creativity is not just a ‘thing', it's a way of life. I don't differentiate between who I am, what I create and how I live my life. It is a joy and a privilage to share my skills and knowledge with others and continue to learn in return.
