July Jewels

What shall I tell you today…..I have a passion for textiles, fibres and thread! 


I am a textile artist, following my soul and challenging my abilities. I'm presently enjoying the challenge of conjuring animals from thread with my hand embroidery and machine embroidery. 


I work from my garden studio over looking Bannow Bay in the ancient east of Ireland under the name Sunartcrafts . I'm surrounded by sea, harbours and wild windy skies not far from the Hook Lighthouse. It’s not the wild winds or open fields that inspire me... it's the small places. A tangle of grasses and wild roses underneath a bush, the wild flowers and dandelions around a gate post, the corner of a summer meadow...the secret world of wildlife. The shadowy shapes along a footpath through the woods of our local Tintern Abbey , my work is on display in the Colclough Gardens within the Abbeys woods.

I follow few rules or guidelines, no one to please but myself and my clients. My work is all over the world with pieces in homes as far afield as New Zealand, Spain , UK and America. I have received, amongst others, invitations to teach in Northumberland UK and Wexford Ireland. I have exhibit in Spain, U.K. and Ireland.
