I trained as a fine artist in Canada and the UK and my work reflects these conventions by interpreting them in cloth. Many pieces are box framed and larger work and installation pieces hang without a frame. I also produce smaller pieces for private and public exhibitions

In 2010, I continue to collaborate with other artists and a writer and am exhibiting in the UK and abroad. I'm available for consultancy work and I am also happy to accept and advise on commissioned work. I have just completed a major public commission.

My students continue to inspire and inform my work.
