Portfolio

I am a multi media painter and textile artist specialising in hand embroidery. I have a Bachelor of Arts
(Hons) in Hand Embroidery for Fashion, Interiors and Textile Art – Second class upper from the Royal
School of Needlework/University of the Creative Arts. My main interests and experience are with
Textile Art, Activist Art and Interiors. I am a member of the Society of Embroidery works. However I
have experience of working on E Tautz and Nicholas Oakwell couture fashion projects. I enjoy
researching themes, painting and drawing to develop designs. I have a very broad range of hand and
machine stitching skills, which I can implement in traditional, contemporary embroideries and multi
media genres. I am an effective communicator with excellent interpersonal skills. I am diversity
sensitive and enjoy working in a multicultural environment. My leadership, teaching and
management skills provide a comprehensive knowledge of motivating and inspiring to provide a solid
foundation for teamwork, thinking critically and creatively. I am multi-talented and enjoy all aspects
of creativity. I am very interested in the creative process and how it can be developed, especially
around art, craft, ecology, music and dance. I enjoy teaching and facilitating groups of people at all
ages.
