About me….
I am a weaver specialising in hand woven tapestry, based in London, UK.
Stories have always been important to me. From those that we see develop around us or that come to us through the words of others, to the narratives that form in our own thoughts.
I have worked in book publishing for several years and enjoy passing on stories to readers. Through my travels for work, I have been privileged to meet many generous individuals who introduced me to different worlds and cultures. All of these encounters and experiences have added layers to my personal story. While visiting an open studio exhibition of contemporary tapestry weaving, my eyes were opened to a different way of communicating these stories.
Influenced by the forms and styles of late Modernism, my work explores landscapes and wild places, either physical or spiritual. Through a deconstructed view, I strip away extraneous details to convey an essence of the most basic elements, such as colour, line and form.
Since completing the ‘Developing Skills and Creative Language in Tapestry Weaving’ Course at West Dean College of Art and Conservation, and winning the Cordis Prize Showcase for Emerging Artists, I have exhibited work in the UK and Australia. I’m a Member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and in 2024 was selected for the Find A Maker directory.
