'The first thing you touch after your mother's skin is fabric.'
I've used and played with fabric all my life - making clothes, printing with batik, quilt making - and now printing fabric on a larger scale using breakdown printing techniques and screen printing. I moved to Leamington Spa from Norfolk seven years ago, expecting to miss the skies and colours of East Anglia but instead falling in love with the well-defined hills and fields of rural Warwickshire. The change in landscape is reflected in the development of my work with landscapes becoming more abstract and new techniques refocusing my viewpoint.
