    During total isolation, in lockdown, I painted over a 164 artworks up to date. I also took up meditation which allowed my imagination to flow again. It was cathartic and eased the trauma from what was happening in the outside world. Life is returning back to what was before, but with a greater sense of appreciating family and friends, united.

    I am a sustainable textile artist and designer exploring the intersection of craft, storytelling, and wellbeing. Using embroidery, layering, and fabric manipulation, I transform overlooked materials into textiles that celebrate resilience.

    I am interested in myth, history and ways in which the historical can collide and interact with the contemporary. Giving voice to, and making visible, people and events which have been ignored or marginalised is important to me, as is the creation of a political artistic practice.

    Since my training at Edinburgh College of Art I have been inspired by nature. My mission explores the emotional symbolism of my subject matter and seeks to distil the image to enhance this. I am a slow meditative painter. This process puts me in touch with the healing spirit I inherited from the medics in my family. I want to help people find an inner sense of peace and connection with nature.

    At LKGlassHouse, I explore nature’s forms through stained glass, balancing structure with spontaneity. My work often blends a darker edge with a sense of play, reflecting contrasts found in the natural world. Light brings each piece to life, shifting its mood throughout the day and creating an ongoing dialogue with its surroundings.
