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.
If you would like to purchase a bespoke quilt or picture please click on contact and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
