I was trained in fashion and printed textile design at Liverpool, Manchester and Gloucestershire Colleges of Art and Design. After graduating, I was involved in various aspects of freelance design and also worked in industry as a designer. I have taught textile-related courses part time at Further Education Colleges.

Some years ago I began making bead jewellery, while at the same time in my textile work, I was experimenting with hand painting fabrics and ethnic papers which I painted, laminated, textured, collaged and stitched into, sometimes attaching fabric pieces. It seemed a natural progression to begin to use these decorative effects in my jewellery.

I currently produce a range of paper, wood and textile jewellery, together with related accessories, such as boxes, papier mache bowls and framed textile based collages. Colour and texture are very important to me.

I sell a wide ready made range of jewellery and accessories but am also happy to accept commissions, often producing colour co-ordinated items to match a special outfit or to tone with a favourite room setting.
