Midnight Sky Artist's statementI studied at Telford College, Edinburgh for my City and Guilds from 1994-1998 (Highly Commended) and I have continued to stitch ever since. I have also attended various courses at Edinburgh School of Art. I particularly like layering different fabrics including hand dyed silk, metal and handmade paper to achieve depth of colour and texture. The detail is completed by machining and handstitching the piece. I design everything from wall hangings, pictures, fire screens, cushions and cards. My influences are varied but I particularly like landscapes and buildings and use my own photographs for inspiration. I have recently moved to the East Neuk of Fife and have also been using shells and bits of pottery washed up onto the local beaches. I have exhibited from Perth to the Borders including having a venue at the Pittenweem Arts Festival for 3 years. I am also a member of Group XII who exhibit all over Scotland and will be in Peebles this summer. |
