Ingrid Sixsmith
I work from my studio on public, private and corporate commissions. More recently I have been specialising in commissions in Hospitals. My work takes on many different mediums including handwoven tapestries, hand tufted sculpted wall hangings, printed silks and banners, printed canvases, paintings and mosaic. I have also exhibited my work, mainly in London & UK
