Mixed media & Textiles
Affiliate
I am a self-taught mixed media artist, who for many years, has been exploring textile art in various forms, such as appliqué, embroidery, patchwork, weaving.
I began introducing other medium, such as cut black paper in 2017, and this graphic approach has really inspired me. The combination of these strong medium has helped me to discover a unique style.
From a distance the overall composition of each work can be appreciated, with the details and textures revealing themselves as you get closer.
I was born and raised in the South-West of France, but have lived in Derbyshire since the age of 18. You will see both my French roots and my adopted country reflected in my work. I now create from my custom-built garden studio in Derby.
I am grateful to have received 4 awards, in Nottinghamshire 2018, Monmouthshire 2019, Midlands 2022 and Derbyshire 2024.
