I’ve been drawn to creating with my hands since childhood. Having explored many different mediums, I have found that weaving provides the perfect balance between structure and freedom. The canvas starts as blank warp and the design builds line by line in a slow reveal until the piece is finished. It’s not until the work is cut from the loom that I see the work in its entirety and it takes on a life of its own.
My designs are often abstract, and minimalist in style. I work mostly in wool sourced from the UK and enjoy experimenting with compositions, themes and perspectives. Many of my pieces have featured in exhibitions and can be found in private collections worldwide.
My inspiration comes from the works of the Bauhaus weavers Anni Albers and Gunta Stölzl but I am also heavily influenced by music and current affairs.
I work mostly on an 8-shaft loom.
