The Story

My work celebrates stitch, surface, and the stories carried by timeworn objects. Through fabric painting, free-motion machine embroidery, and hand stitching, I layer colour, texture, and thread to create pieces that honour the past.

I draw deep inspiration from vintage embroidery, aged papers, antique textiles, and the delicate patterns found in old china.

My connection to fabric and design began as a Saturday girl at Laura Ashley, and making has always been part of my heritage. My great-grandmother owned a Singer sewing shop in Yorkshire, and her passion for craftsmanship continues to shape my creative process today.
