Take elements of Boswell farm landscape as inspiration; panoramic views of gentle rolling hills and the trees, grasses and foliage surrounding the lake; work with papers and fabric using collage and painting techniques to create tactile paper and fabric surfaces to develop with expressive hand or free machine stitch, add definition to surfaces, experimenting with colour and weight of threads to create line and texture interest within the samples.

Work in the light filled studio opening onto a large patio area and stunning views giving the potential to work outside should the weather permit.
