I am a Textile Designer and Artist living and working in Hampshire.

Originally from Devon, moving to London to study, I graduated from Chelsea college of Art and Design with a BA 1st in Textile Design, specialising in print and have since worked as a colour mixer, Print Designer and Artist in Fashion, Film, Picture book illustration, Theatre and Interior Textile Design. 1 year Diploma at the Royal School of Drawing and more recently Head of Studio and a Director at Fermoie 2017-2021.

Drawing is a way of finding shapes and patterns, exploring an atmosphere and sense of place, finding something magical in an everyday rural landscape and is at the heart of my practice as a designer.

2013-2015 Artist in Residence at Great Dixter House and Gardens.  Text from 'Drawing Dixter' catalogue: It’s exciting to be a part of this cultivated jungle of a garden, a lively community of gardeners, and lovers of the land. Great Dixter is a contemporary British pastoral idyll reminiscent of Samuel Palmer and the artists of the 1930s neo romantic movement.  I am exploring this working landscape in all weathers and seasons through drawing and printmaking.  I’m drawn to the patterns, rhythms and atmosphere of the place. Every corner is like a stage with a play in progress.  I’m endeavoring to capture both the hard work of gardening life and the quiet magic of an empty garden. I’m learning a little bit more about the people and recording not just plants, but a sense of place.
