Originally trained as a jeweller and silversmith, my craft practice moved into exploring decorative surfaces in mosaic. Influences come from interests in historic embroidery and gardens. Recent work has developed through mosaic floristry, as interventions in garden borders and as interior wall panels. I am also interested in 1930s graphics influencing the profiles I cut for backing boards, dark grout enhancing the linear quality of the tiled patterns and richly coloured textured surfaces.
