My journey in mixed media textile art is deeply inspired by the natural world and the emotions it evokes. As a member of ArtCan and the Society of Designer Craftsmen, I explore the geometry and structures of nature through free motion stitching, creating 3D sculptures that blur the line between textile and mixed media. My work is driven by intuition, play, and experimentation, often beginning with found objects and transforming into ethereal eco-conscious pieces that invite engagement and exploration. I continuously push creative boundaries while teaching and learning through my practice.
Utilising free-motion machine embroidery techniques I am embarking on a journey characterised by boundless creativity—a journey that dares to defy conventional norms and elevate the art of machine sewing.
Just as a painter wields a brush or a sketch artist wields a pencil, I wield my needle, stitching intricate designs into fabric, intertwining fibres in a dance of texture and form.
The unpredictability of this process is not a hindrance but rather a thrill—a vital component that infuses each piece with its own unique character and charm.
As the fragile lace-like stitching transforms into something magical these pieces challenge the idea that a sewing machine is only for practical tasks.
Instead, they invite you to join me in discovering the beautiful blend of craftsmanship and creativity, where each creation is a unique journey into the realm of imagination.
