Landscape has always held a particular fascination for me. Although most of my work does not represent any one real geographical location, time of day or month of the year, it does reflect my own personal response to what I see hear and feel. The place I picture blends the real and imaginary, often several locations and times of day are superimposed, the effect can be like looking through a prism. Holidays in Pembrokeshire and Cornwall have provided me with a rich resource of ideas, the naturally occurring qualities of the coastal landscape can always be found somewhere in my work.
Working in strips of fabric imposes a discipline but also allows for infinite variation. I use plain commercially dyes fabrics bonded to a ground fabric for stability. The surface remains essentially flat, detail, direction and depth are added with machine stitchery which also serves to blend or accentuate colours
