I studied Fashion Textile Design at the University of the West of England. After graduation I worked as a freelance textile designer, selling work in New York and Japan.
Following a break from my design work, I began to produce pictures on a more personal basis - exploring themes of texture, pattern and shape using embroidery techniques combined with a variety of materials such as metal foils, Mother-of Pearl, wire and mirrored glass.
In addition to my textile and stitched work I also produce hand made cards continuing the recycling ethos by using a variety of leftover materials,
I became a Member of the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen April 2015 and joined Bath Textile Artists January 2017. I have been a member of ACID (Anti Copying in Design) since graduating.
