Biografia

I am a textile artist and maker, trained at City & Guilds of London Art School before continuing my studies at Edinburgh College of Art. Alongside my own creative practice, I currently work as an Art teacher in West London, where I encourage the next generation of artists to explore materials, process, and the value of making by hand.

My work is deeply inspired by the changing seasons, folklore, and the stories woven into landscapes, traditions, and everyday rituals. I am fascinated by the relationship between fine art and traditional craft, often combining painterly approaches with techniques such as embroidery, stitching, and textile construction. The tactile quality of cloth, thread, and layered surfaces is at the heart of my practice, inviting a slower, more thoughtful way of engaging with both the artwork and its making.
