I’m a multi-disciplinary artist making collage, paintings and textiles from my studio in rural Somerset, England.

Working predominantly with paper and cloth I explore the spirit of the domestic and its relationship to the natural world.

My work explores the conversation between our internal and external landscapes. Investigating the rules of conversation which shift as environments change. Making a practice of noticing, studying the places where one thing meets another, and how connections form.

Drawing, print, and collage weave through what I do. With an offer of uplifting celebration, alongside restorative moments of retreat and balance.
