Hand-painted with
fiber reactive dyes, discharge and overpainted
Silk/viscose velvet
My work is influenced by Japanese
simplicity and the natural world which surround me.
I love drawing and painting circles. They give
me a feeling of warmth and comfort, I feel safe within my circle.
A circle is a line which is infinite. A circle
is a line in harmony. A circle is a line with limitless possibilities. A circle
has no boundaries.
“Without our ecology we would cease to exist.
All of my work is directly influenced by the natural world that surrounds
me. Every day I walk the beach and watch
the sun rise, enjoy observing the birds feed, feel the energy of the sea and
hear the shells crunch beneath my feet”.

Fabric Collage with handstitching
recycled fabrics, wadding, cotton
threads, embroidery threads and
fabric paints.
I am a textile landscape artist whose work
explores the borders between land, water, marshes, mountains and sky. I live in
a marshland area in Ireland known as the Bog of Allan. The unique combination
of plants, colours, textures and shapes found within this landscape and the
surrounding mountains and rivers of Ireland are inspirational sources for my
work. I use mixed media techniques including recycled fabrics and hand
stitching to create these textural and 3D landscapes.
