My art practice has been based in textiles for over 25 years, founded on hand-worked processes that are deliberate and slow. Drawing is an integral part of my work as well, offering a more immediate way to work through ideas with the added benefit of a more regular sense of completion. 

It was inevitable that with time the two disciplines would merge, leading to a deeper exploration and understanding of each. Whether created via stitched-resist dye, repetitive stitching, or varied marks on paper, pattern is the overlapping element that I find most appealing. Drawing with thread adds textural dimension, bridging the beauty of image and pattern while elevating each – as separate entities and together.
