Working from studies in pastels, she paints with the fibres on old dyed blankets
moving around the piece like a dancer as she lays them out and punches them in.
Then she draws in the lines and builds up the texture of the composition with her threads, stitching them in by hand and machine.
The whole process has an affinity with music and ballet, the results being highly rhythmic and expressive of the physical energy that goes into their making.
Trees are a favourite motif, conveying the artist's own emotions as well as the landscape around her home town of Kenilworth.
