MY WORK

I mainly use French acid steam set dyes with the traditional Serti Gutta resist technique, alcohol and water.

I love working with vibrant colour pallets and experimenting with different  resist techniques to achieve diverse effects, giving movement, texture and flow to my work.

Painting on the delicate texture of silk brings an ethereal and emotional effect to my work.  I like to focus on the mind body connection with the universe and the natural world.

Currently I’m mono printing tree rings with coloured dyes.  I’m using tree slices cut from diseased and decaying trees felled in Highgate Woods.  The natural intricate patterns and layers telling a unique story of growth and survival.  The silk texture enhances the tree ring relief, creating beautiful wall and art wear pieces.
