Self-portrait. I am a self-taught textile artist based in the UK. My work draws inspiration from the rich and diverse world of textile art, with a particular emphasis on hand embroidery and mixed media techniques. With embroidery, the fabric is your canvas and the needle and thread your paintbrush and paint - hence the term 'thread painting'. The meditative process of hand stitching allows you to focus on line, colour, form, etc. as you place the stitches.

Inspired by the Byzantine Icon of Mother of God, this is my own interpretation of this subject matter. Drawn to the simplicity of Byzantine Icons and their rich colours I felt compelled to produce my own version of this subject matter.
