I am a multi media painter and textile artist specialising in hand embroidery. I have a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Hand Embroidery for Fashion, Interiors and Textile Art. I have a very broad range of hand and machine stitching skills, which I can implement in traditional, contemporary embroideries and multi media genres.

I use a wide range of embroidery, painterly, and textured genres in an abstract and stylised form with reference to nature. Often using up cycled materials to maintain sustainability.
