Inspiration

The impressions and memories of trips and travels has been the basis much of my work. The East Coast of Australia inspired my Journal Quilts; Gaudi was a major influence for the mosaic style of quilts -'Barcelona', 'Prague', and 'Sienna' just as Monet had been a strong influence with the Birch Wood Quilts.
The 'Gherkin' in the City of London was the inspiration for 'Re Swiss' and 'Six in the City'

But nearer to home the wall paintings in the British Museum and at St.Albans Verulamium have proved to be a rich source of surface pattern and colour.
I like to break my working day with short walks from home and the seasonal changes in the Birch and Bluebell woods, the hedgerows and skyline are both a source of pleasure and inspiration.
