AS I AM
Authentic women. As they are.
What makes you, you?
Identity, individuality, the importance of being true to ourselves and understood for who we are.
To date most of my thread and fabric textile work have been a direct expression of me: my feelings, my passions, my delights, my sadness, my dislikes. Who I am, who I would like to be...
I have chosen to use life drawings created during life drawing sessions with professional artist's life models to portray aspects of myself or themes, subjects, emotions and activities that interest or relate to me.
Many of these pieces have touched others, particularly other women and I have felt so privileged to feel the sense of connection that this brings.

A totally different process for me has been creating works specifically of and for others. Finding ways to explore and portray the character of other women through textile thread and fabric works has been challenging, exciting and rewarding and it is this that I would like to explore in the coming months.
My aim is to portray, through life drawing, threads and fabric, authentic women as they are, depicted in environments, with objects or in moments of time that have meaning for them.
