I trained as a textile designer and worked for some time in the textile industry. During the 1960s I designed and hand embroidered kaftans and silk shirts for Mr Fish in London. Now I specialise in silk painting using the "serti" technique and steam-fixed dyes. The brilliant dye colours suit my highly decorative style, which typically features animals, birds and mythical beasts.

The subject matter reflects my love of mediaeval decoration, on which I have studied extensively throughout Europe.
I also derive much inspiration from the exuberant colours of the Orient and in particular Indian textiles and paintings.

My range includes soft furnishings, pictures and richly bordered hangings decorated with beads and tassels, cards and some prints.

Much of my work is commissioned and is represented in Europe, America, Canada, Australia and Japan.
