My work has also won prizes for hand workmanship, computer design, art quilting and embellishment. I entered the world of mixed media around 2004 and my Artist Trading Card (ATC) Enduring, Unending won Best of Show in the House of Cards exhibition, Columbus, Ohio, 2005. I love art journalling and at the moment I'm a monthly Guest Designer for Stencilgirl Products. My art has been published in a wide variety of magazines and books both here in the U.K. and abroad.I love photography and have uploaded a daily picture to the Blipfoto site for more than 10 years. In 2012 I completed my self set task of making one Journal Quilt every week in the 52 Journals Project and they were exhibited in a very successful show in Peebles in 2014. I'm a full-time studio artist.
