My computer has become an indispensable part of my creative life. 

Rather than  designing for textiles , the textiles themselves 

sometimes become a starting point for the images. 

By combining with art work, drawings and photos 

these images  are an extension to my textile work. 

Below are some of my pieces.

Tissue treated with Ink Aid applied to fabric

images which, when quilted, give an impression of leather

Small Pyramid purse

This complex image is inspired by the series of quilts I made based on horses. The original inspiration came from a painting by Walter Crane of horses and the sea. This is a Giclėe print.

Computer design for textiles has become a great interest of mine and I can offer workshops and talks  on the subject.

I have had several articles published on the subject.
