I work in textiles and mixed media, using traditional methods of hand and machine stitching but in a free contemporary way.   I mix fabrics, lace, yarns, wires, papers and paints in response to stories and poetry, my colourful scrapbooks and journals or simple words.  My work is usually very colourful and textured with free edges and typically incorporates tiny fabric scraps.
