About me

Gender Female
Occupation Embroidery and textile artist and teacher
Location Mandurah, WA, Australia
Introduction I'm a married English-Australian with step children and grandchildren. In 2012 I completed my Embroidery Level 3 City and Guilds through School of Stitched Textiles, by distance learning. I design and teach traditional embroidery, but love contemporary textiles too. I'm a member of ATASDA and Art A'peel textile groups. I'm dotty about animals and adore my pets. I'm a menopausal sentimental sop who cries at anything, and likes chocolate and wine more than I should, and I can't live without my embroidery, it sustains me through all life's ups and downs.
