Self taught Artist - always been involved with arts and crafts and over the years this has helped keep my sanity as I have coped with dialysis & then a kidney transplant (with all its complications) - together with caring for our son through repeated brain tumours surgeries.
I've always written & painted, but over the years I've made jewellery, spun & dyed wool and silk, made pictorial weavings and created cards and countless scrapbooks.
More recently I have been making silk collages (which I embroider and bead)and dry felting which I embellish by hand.
I feel it is important to make the most of every day - not just through what I create - but in how I live my life
I wasted time, and now doth time waste me; For now hath time made me his numbering clock: My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch, Whereto my finger, like a dial's point, Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears. Now sir, the sound that tells what hour it is Are clamorous groans, which strike upon my heart, Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans Show minutes, times, and hours"
Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment - Claude Monet
