I am mainly a self taught textile artist with a passion for yarn, material, beads, buttons, found objects etc etc. Probably more of an addiction than a passion now!! I go to a textile group once a week to meet up with like minded people and to be able to bounce ideas off one another. Mixed media is my favourite genre as I love to use everything and anything in my work. My daughter owns a yarn and haberdashery store which makes everything even more tempting and accessible!
