Statement - 
Creative art and psychotherapy have played an integral part in my adult life. I have always been fascinated by the rich inner language of symbols,
abstract conceptions, dreams and imagery from the subconcious. Developing such imagery by giving it form seems, to me, to be the beginning
of a healing process. My aims are to develop and promote my particular art form, to challenge and cross the perceived boundaries between craft
and fine art. 
For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by the texture, make-up and construction of all materials and fabrics, whether natural or 
man-made. My earliest influences in fabrics were from antique Welsh quilts, I studied their construction and spent several years restoring decayed
and damaged quilts and fabrics. As my work has developed over the years, the element of texture has always been of vital importance to me.
