PROFESSIONAL TUTOR

I hold a degree in Printed Textiles from Loughborough University as well as a Masters in Textiles from Manchester Metropolitan University. My current research focuses on narratives and fragments of imagery, collage and print, associations surrounding themes such as environment, space and routine. Within these areas which underpin my practice I am interested in incorporating various traditional and none conventional textile and drawing techniques.

Image manipulation, repeat structures and pattern, are all pertinent and integral to my practice.

My outputs span from fashion and furnishing works to site-specific projects with collaborative and community based practice. Pedagogical research through engaging with live projects and the bringing together of visual disciplines, artists with students has recently become central to my working process which in turn enhances my research informed teaching.
