"My work is about transferring my drawings into
stitch. I sketch almost every day and subjects can be everything from
the roof tops of St. Ives to Andalusian chickens. Through stitch my
drawings are transformed, they take on a looser more childlike quality
and colours become patterned and textured fabrics."
There
is also a very practical aspect to my work which means my drawings may
also become bags, cushion covers or tea-cosies. Her work is loved by
many and even graces the rooms of Claridge's, London .
I
was born in North Cornwall in 1976 and grew up on the fringes of Bodmin
Moor. After spending several years away, living, studying and working
in Winchester and more recently living and working in Central America,
I returned to Cornwall in 2003. I now live in Penzance and work from a
studio in Newlyn.
