I have a BA in Constructed Textile Design and have received five commendations from the Bradford Textile Design Competition for my contemporary knitwear samples. My love of texture has led me to experiment with mosaic and over the past two years I have attended workshops at studios in Barcelona, Venice and the UK. I am also a regular visitor to a mosaic studio in Sheffield, where I work under the guidance of a professional mosaicist. I particularly enjoy creating exterior mosaic pieces for the garden and am continually increasing my knowledge of substrates, adhesives, techniques etc.
