Currently putting together a selection of my work to exhibit at the Dye house Gallery at the Bradford School of  Art. The Exhibition 'Taught' is an opportunity for staff and former students to showcase there work and celebrates the History of Bradford School of arts and achievements of its Alumni.

Had a great time at the Fashion & Embroidery Show 2016 at the NEC Birmingham.
I met some lovely people there and future contacts. I would like to thank Madeira for sponsoring me over the final year of my degree and for giving me this opportunity to exhibit my work.
Here is a selection of images taken over the duration of the show.

Had a lovely few days in Birmingham and met some really inspiring people. The Amount of interest in my work has been very positive.

Almost ready for the Fashion & Embroidery show at the NEC Birmingham. Looking forward to Exhibiting again.

I have accepted an invitation today, having been selected as a Maderia UK sponsored student to display my work at the Fashion& Embroidery show Birmingham NEC in March 2016.http://www.fashionembroidery.co.uk/birmingham/
My work in relation to mental health patient Mary Francis Heaton is beginning to expand, having had a meeting two weeks ago at the Wakefield Mental Health Museum. I have been invited to display my work along side Mary's embroidered pieces. My final degree work and dissertation are homage to her life spent within the West Riding Asylum.
 This is a great compliment,as I have grown to admire Mary through out my research. Buy building a up picture of her life and psychological state of mind,I created a body of work I hoped would portray her story.

I have been looking at book binding idea's today as a progression to show my art work in a 3d form. Textile art enables me to express my ideas from my research to develop pieces which define moments of time. Working with young adults with disabilities gives me the  inspiration to reflect upon my own work and how I can overcome obstacles to produce a finished piece.
My work with them allows me to think about producing ideas and how to demonstrate it. I have come to realise you don't have to over complicate things to create beautiful art work.
