Extended Bio

My work is an uplifting exploration and celebration of colour and the beauty of flowers. My goal is simply to bring joy and vibrancy into everyday life, as well as being a personal creative therapy. As a textile designer, I have always been drawn to the textures, patterns and vibrant hues found in the natural world, especially flowers. With their endless variety of forms and colours, they serve as a constant source of inspiration for my creative practice. I explore florals across multiple mediums in both decorative and practical forms, from drawing and painting to printing and crafting functional pieces like cushions and tote bags. I am always exploring new ways to express my passion for florals and more recently have been creating ever-lasting, beautiful blooms from colourful felt, which I will be creating/demonstrating alongside my work throughout NEOS. I am sharing The Clay Half Venue with its owner, Irene Hughes (Pottery), and Sam Wyness (Potter).
