Always looking, always seeing something new. Amazed that one can look at something again and again and each time see it with new eyes. Borrowing small elements from nature; textures, forms, characteristics, I develop my own unique, abstract formations and create exquisitely crafted artwork for interior settings.

My first year of university saw the start of a love affair with felt; an ancient material that has survived the tests of time and evolved in both its methods of production and its many uses throughout the world. I pair various methods of felt making with other media such as metal, wood and fabric, carefully balancing each ones qualities to give an enhanced tactile and aesthetic experience.

Sourcing British farmed fibres, reclaimed materials and producing work through hand and low energy processes, enables me to work with sustainability in mind.

Nature gives us so much to work with, why take more than we need.
