I have been interested in spinning and weaving since I was a child.

In my early twenties I moved to Virginia, USA, and there I began an apprenticeship with a well known local artist, Nancy Slye. She allowed me to become involved in all aspects of the craft – from weaving intricate, colourful garments, to caring for the sheep, llamas and goats on her farm.

I returned to England in 2002, and have continued my craft here, slowly building up local sources of quality fibre, and experimenting with colour and texture.

Although I have been spinning and weaving for nearly ten years, I exhibited my work for the first time in May 2006 as part of Dorset Arts Week.

I hope to have my work for sale in local boutiques and art galleries by the end of the year, and am always available for commission pieces.
