Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you - Frank Lloyd Wright



I create extraordinary hand embroidery, textured and colourful, intuitive and bold. I'm drawn to nature and to books where I find constant inspiration. My hand stitching is 100% created by my hand and each unique piece tells a narrative of colour, design and the natural world. This practise of textiles forms the base for all my work.

I don't want to mimic nature but to use it to search and discover through stitching and stories, individual pieces that sing and show a deep love of plants, animals and birds.
I use the finest of threads and each piece I design and hand embroider is a unique and powerful statement.

Based in East Sussex I work in the sunniest room in my rural home and when I'm not stitching I'm dog walking. Why the name? Well I qualified in fine art sculpture but I accidentally found myself falling in love with using textiles and embroidery after my mother gave me some of her embroidery threads.
