A little something about me…

I’ve been making ever since I was small! You could always find me happily absorbed in craft projects; quilling, fimo, decoupage… to name a few. I was always experimenting with different materials melting wax to create flowers! ( not sure how safe that was!), marbling with PVA! I can’t imagine a life without creativity !

I still enjoy experimenting with different materials and craft is still at the heart of what I do, but it`s about making the craft my own and I do that through play and experimentation. I now make jewellery, which I treat like wearable works of art, paper art and installations. After studying a mixed media degree in Fine Art in the friendly city of Cardiff, I moved to London to do a two year MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art. I began my degree by painting, but soon started creating miniature paper installations and by the time I started my MA I was creating room sized textile installations. I now use a mixture of fabric, paper, wood, perspex, which I laser cut to create my work.

I am passionate about spreading the word about how wonderful creativity is! so I do lots of workshops and projects with different communities from school children to adults suffering with mental health difficulties. I have recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy, which I loved!

Victorian paper house…


Happy new year! I hope you`ve all had a lovely christmas…..my christmas was really lovely and relaxing that brought exciting news for people close to me; an engagement, a new job and baby Jessica. I got some lovely presents that filled me with inspiration, one my most inspiring was this book below, i almost cried when i saw it!….

Cecilia…


This necklace is named after a good friend who has always inspired and supported me…..I designed this by making the shapes three-dimensionally out of leather- drawing doesn`t inspire, so i like to use my hands to make when i`m designing.

Auntie Kay….


I decide i couldn`t not name my necklaces after putting so much thought into designing and making them…..This is the first necklace that the name just came to me based on a mirror at my Auntie Kays farm house….i have always loved it ever since i was small when it belonged to my Grandma. It`s made from mirrored acrylic, with engraved detail.
