The figure draws me in, especially in movement. I draw people while they move, usually during a yoga practice or while dancing. I also have an affinity to stitching prayers and mantras, it is a relaxing practice and more importantly I like to spread the goodness of the words and prayers into the space the works inhabit on an energetic level. Everything holds energy, so by sewing these words I try to hold the intentions of them. The words hold their meanings and in the case of these embroideries they become tangible; they are not simply words on paper rather the words come to life as a result of their movement through the paper. On one side they are recognisable and on the other they are illegible, yet they are there; a language still giving the energy of what the words mean.

With an interest in natural forms, when I draw flowers it is a playful response to an intrinsic understanding that flowers, trees and plants, are aware of us and can hear us and respond to our needs. We are connected. Talk to the flowers, they listen, they heal, they feel, they know. The flowers just know. So talk to them and show them love; they love you.
