I have a deep rooted passion for the visual arts, especially printmaking! I love sharing the joy of being creative and take much pride in being able to inspire others to produce art and craft that they are proud of.

I have been in the art/craft industry for more than 25 years. Initially I began my career in illustration, and then moved more into craft when my husband Arthur, and I began designing and making contemporary furniture together. Alongside designing, I have enjoyed developing and incorporating other creative skills into our work. I designed and made a collection of printed panels and lamps, have carved many of the peices, gilded and experimented with sand blasting and combining techniques into something unique.  In 2012, we won a gold medal – awarded by the Craft & Design Magazine which we were very proud to receive, and built a good reputation for our furniture. We have been published in numerous books and magazines, and undertaken some very exciting commissions both in the UK and abroad.

In 2019 I gained an MA in Contemporary Crafts from the Hereford College of Arts, where I focussed on environmentally kinder processes and materials that could be implemented into my studio and workshops. This has lead me down a path that roots me far more in the landscape and world around us, and has helped me to understand that we are not separate from nature but very much are nature. I forage for coloured stones in the river and plants for dyes, and process them into pigment to give me a beautiful pallete from which I can make oil based inks and paints, water colours or writing ink. Sourcing my materials from the landscape, processessing them into ink and using the often overlooked and wonderful patterns around us as inspiration has connected me in so many new ways, both to my surroundings and to those I meet along the way.
