My travels, beginning in childhood and extended with a career as a journalist, have shaped my creative journey. I have collected fragments of the world around me—detritus, driftwood, stones, fabrics, seeds—each piece a story, a memory, a texture that sparked my imagination. These found treasures have become integral to my creative process, merging with my love for colour, abstraction, and texture but also and importantly allow me to talk about the environment.

This Spring has seen a dive into a new palette of colours; the same concepts and concerns lie within these new pieces.
I hope the pieces are visually interesting but also thought provoking, our planet is in a fragile place and this I hope to subtly represent. I love using my repurposed fabrics and wild collection to make a point, not an accusation but definitely a point. As with the Spring series, nature does her thing, one season following another, but it is all on a sharp, knife edge as our climate changes. If our gulf stream is flooded with the rise of sea waters as ice melts in the polar regions, our climate will ironically get cooler and wetter as other places heat up and loose what little rainfall they may have had. I know I can't change the world's climate, but I can help highlight some of the issues we are facing.

This passion has led me to breathe new life into forgotten fabrics, merging them with the natural and discarded elements gathered. My work is a continuous exploration, where these materials are reborn into new compositions that tell a story of time, place, and emotion.

By combining the richness of collected treasures with the fluidity of fabric, still allowing the cloth to dictate some of the composition, my creations become a tapestry of my journeys. Each piece is a celebration of the beauty in the overlooked and the possibility of renewal, where the past meets the present in vibrant, unexpected ways.
