    Based in West Yorkshire I am a visual artist and creative practitioner working with stitched paper, textiles, and mixed media to explore themes of place and belonging. My work aims to bridge contemporary fine art with textile-based processes, layering paper and thread to create textural, abstract compositions that reflect the fragility and resilience of landscapes.

    My art explores mental health, struggle, healing, and growth, shaped by my psychology background, including a Master’s in Psychology Research and years supporting young people with mental health challenges and special needs. I'm inspired by the intersection of humanity and nature, and transform inner emotions into expressive portraits, vivid abstractions, and unique, deeply human characters.
