I am a textiles artist, working primarily with wool and wood to create three dimensional bodies of work covering art, sculpture and knitwear.  My multi-media approach involves knitting, felting, painting and tying.  My practice has been shaped by the work of Betty Parsons, Constantine Brancusi, Frances Palmer and Giorgio Morandi.

Having completed a degree in (BA Hons) in Textiles Design at The University of Brighton, I gained invaluable experience in the fashion and costume industry in London, but during this time it became clear that I needed to get back to ‘making’.  It was an opportunity to do a MA at Parsons School of Design in New York, that allowed me the time to develop my knitweaving technique and establish my practice as a textile artist.

Now situated in the North Yorkshire countryside, I work from home and am part of a communal studio in York, Pica Studios. My work has been sold across the world and I regularly take part in open studio events. You can find all my available work for sale here on my website.  If you would like to see any of my work in person please get in touch.
