I am a textile artist based in Central Scotland.  

Inspired by nature and the environment, I started my design journey painting and drawing but in college discovered a love of textiles using different techniques to create textures and effect. 

Slow stitch, machine stitching and embroidery have featured in most of my projects with painting and printing still playing a part in my design process. 

Interested in social history I often bring memories and life experience into my design work and like communicating with people to draw out their memories too. Text and cursive handwriting often feature in my work. As a runner and hill walker, I am aware of the environment around me and the impact of climate change. This has led me to recycling, repurposing, and using found objects and vintage materials. I have also discovered a love of dyeing using natural materials and experimenting with the subtle colours that brings.
