Artist's StatementI am inspired by the world around me, particularly flowers, land and seascapes. I love colour and this often determines my choice of materials and techniques, whereas I often start weaving with only a vague idea of the final form. I work with materials including cane, rush and willow to found materials, textiles and paper. I use a range of techniques such as stake and strand, plaiting and frame to twining, netting and coiling – producing both functional baskets and more sculptural work.
I completed the City & Guilds Creative Basketry Course at City Lit in London in 2013 and in 2018 I was made a Yeoman of the Worshipful Company of Basketmakers. I have exhibited regularly at Cambridge Open Studios and through the Worshipful Company of Basketmakers Basketry Showcase, Lewes Basketry Festival and Herts Basketry.
