The Fabric of Life
You’re here, thank you.
Through my art I share my thoughts on the world, human experiences and my love of artistic expression as a means of creating change and presenting another way. My textiles tell a story and my hands are a symbol. Powerful and beautiful, our hands are an embodiment of the essence of life.
Welcome to my blog.
Somewhat a living scrapbook and journal, here is were I share thoughts and processes that form to create the art of living, for me. Observations, designs and stories – the biggest part of my work, all live here. I hope you’ll find in these words and images, joy and common ground for reflection and inspiration.
Latest Projects
A Piece of Me Group Exhibition
People often ask me whether I run out of ideas – NEVER. My biggest challenge is seeing them all through. I’m terrible for having a number of projects on the go. I nearly always come back to them, because I truly believe they all have their time, but I do love an idea. Here are a few that I have started, completed and am working on at the moment.

Contemporary Leather Jewellery
I’m always looking around for what colour to make these bracelets in. The soft leather works so well to braid and fold the strips that I cut in the process. It started from a simple gold version that I made for myself. So many people noticed and asked about it so it only made sense to make a collection and like my rings make them part of my signature collection.
These Hands
The power that we hold in our hands is something to celebrate with reverence. It’s were it all began, from the earliest symbols to literally the writings on the wall, our hands have been the tools of change.
My ongoing and evolving relationship with our hands and the power to bring ideas into being.
Studio Life
I’m blessed to have a wonderful studio to create, design and share my love of expression through creativity.
The studio is open to the public Tuesday – Friday from 11.00 – 15.00 where you can visit to discuss a project, commission or simply have a little arty brainstorm.
In addition to writing and creating space, I also make contemporary leather jewellery and bags which are created in the same way as my art, original, one of a kind and always limited in number, sometimes to 1.
