Concepts
I hand weave the tapestries in a very 'painterly manner. My imagery is fairly consistent throughout my work, this includes fragments of text and often incorporates portraits. I use the effect of colour to create a vivid play of light within the surface of the work. A brochure is available on request.Influences
