Textiles and mixed-media

I am an artist and maker living in beautiful Ilfracombe, having retired here in 2010 after a long teaching career.

I opened a shop (Buttons and Stars) in Fore Street and was instrumental in the establishment of a monthly Artisan Market and then the gorgeous co-operative shop, FortyThree, at the top of Fore Street. I left FortyThree at the end of 2024 to pursue a different path but continue with my passion for making textile and mixed media pieces.

I love colour, pattern and texture, and enjoy creating landscapes and other artworks using a mix of fabrics, papers, and embroidery.

My love of textiles spills over into the making of small quilts, wall hangings and bags, each one unique and made with love and care. Commissions are always welcome.
