About
Welcome, I hope you enjoy browsing my work and sharing my obsession.
​
My inspiration comes from my love of the flora and fauna that surrounds us. The patterns and colour within nature.
I have always admired Matisse, the Fauvists, and the Impressionists and have been rediscovering the German Expressionists a revelation.
Sometimes the pattern on the material can stimulate an idea and stirs a memory; I start then the work will evolve with an energy of its own and something quite different often emerges.
​
I use only quality materials. All quilts are pure cotton and silk, with a natural fibre wadding. They are washable on a delicate wash at 30 degrees.
​
My prices reflect the care and time taken to create my quilts.
​
If you would like to commission an original quilt please feel free to get in touch via the contact page, we can discuss the idea together. I would love to help you realise your dreams and design your own personal quilt.
Any initial conversation is without obligation.
