I have enjoyed a professional life full of art, design and textile practice, specialising in Indian Embroidery. I have given lectures, written books, exhibited and lead many workshops and projects in Britain, India, Europe and South Africa.
In 1968, I started work for the United Nations on the Women’s Training Project, travelling throughout India and Pakistan.
I am a lecturer for the V & A on Indian embroidery and have written three books on ‘Shisha’, ‘Phulkari’ and ‘Kantha ‘ work. I was a consultant for two major exhibitions, ‘Colours of the Indus’ and ‘The Art of the Sikh Kingdoms’.
