Biography
Nature Inspired Textile Art I breath new life into preloved fabrics, weaving natures beauty through free motion and hand embroidery, creating one off pieces, and truly original blank greetings cards Over the past twelve years, my self taught journey has transformed my passion for nature into a skilled art form, allowing me to truly express my creativity through the medium of fabric and thread. Utilising nature to also print fabrics gives a unique and organic touch to my artwork capturing the beauty of the natural world. The combination of these elements allows for a creative and sustainable approach to my textile art, where each piece tells a story of renewal and connection with the natural world. Working in a stunning part of the Sussex countryside undoubtedly influences and infuses my textile art with the beauty and serenity of nature. At weekends my coastal location enriches my inspirations, allowing me to translate the tranquility and allure of the coast into my creations, this balance between work and leisure in such picturesque surroundings undoubtedly adds depth and authenticity to my work.
