I love creating texture in my quilts. To me quilts are very tactile objects and I really enjoy using different fabrics, beads, yarns and threads to create images.

My inspiration comes from nature around me. At the moment I'm blessed to be living on the edge of the ocean in the Bahamas. I wake up every morning to see aqua blues and clear light all around me. This is what I try and capture in my art quilts.

I have just completed a City & Guilds quilting course online....isn't technology marvelous !!. I studied through Linda & Laura Kemshall and learnt new techniques that I am looking forward to incorporating into my future quilts.

In October 2006 I went to the Houston Quilt show for the first time. To any quilter who has not been to this fantastic event I would recommend you do so as soon as you can and take comfortable shoes. The great variety of quilts was amazing and I was again reminded of the huge diversity within our art form. I was a Quilt Angel for the Hawaiian appliqué and hand quilting section. They were beautiful and while it is not a technique I want to take up I had to marvel at the beauty of the work.

I was delighted to be informed that my latest quilt "Greenlight" was accepted into the Chicago IQA judged show and has been selected to travel with the IQA to their other judged shows.

I took all of the photograph's used on this website with the exception of the photo I used for the Rose island quilt, this was given to me by Robin Symonette.
