I take inspiration from the world around me—landscapes, skies, wildflowers, and trees often shape my work. Sometimes, it’s the vast scenery that draws me in; other times, it’s the finer details, like a weathered shell on the beach or the ornate carvings of a doorway. In recent years, my focus has shifted closer to home, with the Shropshire countryside and my wild garden providing endless creative possibilities.
I love developing sketches and doodles into larger pieces, working with techniques such as printing, collage, batik, drawing, painting, and free machine embroidery. My process begins with fluid and unpredictable materials like inks and watercolours, which I then refine by adding layers of texture and detail with a variety of media. Free machine embroidery often serves as the final element, particularly on paper, where I use it as a form of mark-making.
