I am a local artist and author specializing in free machine embroidery. I enjoy stitching landscapes, animals and people that are a blend of imagination and reality. Although I work primarily with free machine embroidery, I don't like to be held down by one art form or medium. I also enjoy making wearable or useful items such as hand bags or jewelry from textiles or resin. A recent breast cancer diagnosis has curtailed my attendance at markets and exhibitions but I hope to become fully productive again soon. I am happy to discuss the opportunity for commissions, talks and exhibitions.
