I take my inspiration from nature and
look at basket weaving not only as a craft, but also an art, creating
pieces that do not have to have a function other than to please the senses.
I work mainly with natural materials,
but every now and again I go back to my roots. I grew up in Africa, and
have always been fascinated by the incredible use of natural fibres, and
recycling of man-made items; the use of vibrant colours and bold patterns.
In July 2007 I completed a 4 year City
and Guilds Course, in London, in Creative Basketry, taught by some of the leading
basketmakers in the UK. I am now a member of the Basketmakers Association and The Visual Images Group
