" Hand painting adds an extra dimension to silk.
The designs that I create have a fluid sensuality
                that liberates the female psyche."

"I am  inspired by the dyes themselves
as the colours intermingle in fascinating ways
to create unique works of art every time.

"My passion for creating is constantly fuelled
by the many different techniques employed
and the effects they produce"
