Me and my work

My inspiration comes from all sorts of things, often from my travels. A bird market in Asia, the beautifully decorated elegant front of a chocolate shop in Rome. I play with the idea of decadence. Things we would like but possibly wouldn’t need. Indulging in the delights of a chocolate cake, the heady smell of an expensive perfume, the thought of slipping ones feet into a beautifully crafted crystal adorned evening shoes!

Using carefully chosen colours and fabrics I wish to create elegant and unusual accessories and home furnishings that, although quite different, compliment one another.

Working from my studio in West Sussex I aim to create pictures, rather than patterns upon my products. Using carefully finished appliqué and free hand machine embroidery all aspects of the work is carried out my myself, from initial design stage through to the final smattering of beads or a touch of hand embroidery! Art for sofas and chairs, rather than walls!

Unfortunately I am currently not selling outside Europe.
