So many artists to choose from… I loveYayoi Kusama but also nature inspired artists like Tom Thompson of the group of seven.

That would be THE Artist, The Creator of Heaven and Earth, whose work in nature makes my fingers itch to pick up needle and fiber!

Just as Jamie Chalmers explores how indie-crafters and artists are pushing the boundaries of traditional crafts, my biggest influence is the groundbreaking and often subversive artist and film maker Derek Jarman. His captivating work shined through his attention to detail, his knowledge and reference to art and history, the decadent use of colour through set design and costume and his belief in the creativity of all the artists he collaborated with.

Just starting to make stitched artworks (on my handmade felt) and the luminous colours and quality of linework in Paul Klee’s paintings really inspire me!

I love Gustav Klimt among many others!

Currently it’s Gustav Klimt. I find his colors, patterns, and compositions fascinating. Right now I’m in the process of designing a monogram for myself inspired by one he used to sign “Portrait of Emilie Flöge, 1902/03”. I want to have an abstract way to sign my work that is more decorative element and not just plain letters.
