About me

After almost 20 years designing prints for the womenswear fashion market, I took the plunge to take my own art practice full time. I separated myself from trends and briefs, and took the opportunity to explore ideas that I felt were important.
Following the birth of my first child I started to become more and more aware of the devastating impact the fashion industry has on the environment, combined with a sudden new desire to help create the best world possible for my daughters future, I knew I no longer wanted a part in an industry that was damaging. I needed to step away and focus on something that brings beauty into the world with a focus on being eco-friendly and sustainable.

As the world moves at a faster pace and our daily lives feel more overwhelming than ever, I have a strong desire to bring the calming and restorative powers of nature into my work. I hope that others can feel this same sense of freedom and peace, and that my work can bring this deeply therapeutic connection with nature into their everyday lives. Through my work, I aim to create an opportunity for the viewer to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the natural world.
