Artist's statement

I was born in Pakistan in 1948 but have lived in East Anglia most of my life. I graduated from the University of Hertfordshire with a degree in Art and Design, and before that I gained a City and Guilds qualification in Creative Embroidery.

My work is intended to be "images to delight the eye and provoke thought", and includes a variety of media including collage, paint, textiles, printmaking and book art. The images are sometimes representational, sometimes abstracted and emphasize line, form and colour. They are inspired by a wide range of sources.
