I combine welding and embroidery, woodwork and textile art. My work is intricate and time-consuming, involving hand-embroidery and character design. I'm interested in forgotten words and stories, making fine art through craft techniques.
After many years working in recycled design women's groups in South America and social impact projects North Wales, I am now returning to making with new skills and ideas.
My artist’s name is The Yaffingale, which is an archaic name for the green woodpecker.
