An artist and tutor based in Northamptonshire, I am inspired every day by the nature around me, changing seasons and the “turning of the wheel”. I love to step outside and watch or draw plants, birds, insects, trees and skies, colours and movement, the character of every living being, its uniqueness and its wonky bits!
These experiences translate into individual, handmade pieces of visual art, jewellery and ceramics. I work in a variety of mediums, including recycled silver, clay, leather, seashells, slate and gems, and employ many different drawing and painting materials in my artwork. If I can find organic objects in nature, or reuse found items, experiment and make them beautiful, all the better.
I teach a wide variety of workshops including lino printing, Gelli plate printing, wire and macrame jewellery, papercraft, fibre crafts, clay and collage across different venues. I also provide bespoke private craft lessons.
Nature, play and creativity have a profound ability to lift you up and calm you down, and I hope my work communicates some of this joy.
