Whales & Dolphins
I created this picture as it
reminded me of a time when I experienced seeing a pod of whales
of the San Juan Islands in British Columbia and I often see Dolphins
off the Wexford Coast. They are both truly magnificent creatures.
Some days I create lots of new designs, I'm busy drawing and getting the ideas out of head and down onto paper. Yet, other days I'm surrounded by different by lots of different scissors and piles of coloured felt and other fabrics and I sit and cut out my designs.
Ultimately, I love sewing. It is so rewarding to sit and sew! I will sew for hours - selecting all the different coloured embroidery threads and hand stitch my wall art, adding beads or whatever else is to hand on the day.
The images I create are soft,
warm and colourful.
Smiling
Lion
Much of my inspiration is taken from my 3 children. Mother Nature also plays a big part in my work. I look out onto my garden when I work and this inspires me endlessly, as do my own memories of when I was a kid.
Although the Lions image is sometimes fierce, my smiling lion is warm and welcoming and a favourite of mine.

What can I say about this picture - I love it!
The
Big Wave
One of the favourite parts of my work is making a picture for a friend as a gift. The Big Wave was made for 2 friends as a gift for their new baby. They were moving from living by the sea into the midlands. A new journey was beginning for them. I wanted to remind them of the sea that they so loved and respected and moving on to the next chapter in their lives.
