Venue address: Arundel Lido, Queen Street
Living by the coast in Littlehampton, West Sussex, I find endless inspiration from the shoreline and the surrounding landscape of the South Downs.
My passion for textiles and colour has led me on a journey of exploration and continuous learning. After later studying Experimental Textiles, I found I relish discovering new processes and ways of combining and manipulating fabric, thread, paper, print, ink and natural dyes.
Over the years, I have become increasingly drawn to using nature’s textures and natural colour palette. I take great joy in working with natural materials and pigments, along with alternative processes, which I find encourages more free-flowing creativity, never quite knowing what results will follow. This removes the pressure of preconceived expectations of my pieces and allows for fresh explorative artwork. I also hold workshops in the local area, sharing processes and enabling others to try new creative skills in a relaxed and friendly environment.
I hold several exhibitions of my work during the year, at the Thomas Heatherwick designed East Beach Café in Littlehampton, running workshops alongside.
I am delighted to return to the Arundel Gallery Trail again this year.
