Artist & Facilitator

I am a freelance artist based in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria in the North West of England. I have worked within the performing and fine arts for 20 years. Initally I worked within the theatre as a performer and on production. Then moving on to a street circus group that performed around the UK. I did my degree BA(hons) Fine Art at Uclan. For fifteen years I have collaborated with local arts organisations, worked on youth community projects and in schools running a variety of creative projects. I am currently a member of North Lonsdale Embroiderers Guild, Blue Tarn, a rural womens artists collective and Trident Textiles, based in Furness. I am always working on a variety of small scale projects including photography, textile and mixed media. Although my favourite thing is meeting and talking to interesting people!

New Sewing Machine

Just managed to open and check out my new super duper sewing machine!  It is great but a bit complicated so it is going to take a while for me to get used to it especially after the old one i had!


It is a Brother Innovis 350 SE, it is the same as the 400 but apparently this one is cheaper.  It should do above and beyond my needs at the moment.  What I am hoping is that I can improve on my free motion embroidery and get to use special designs on my home deco stuff.  It has over 200 stitches!!!!!  There is a internal panel that i can lift up and choose a pattern by inputing the code into the computer bit!
