Having trained and worked as a printed textile designer, I now work from home in the west of Scotland producing contemporary soft furnishings.

My inspiration comes from everyday life,it could be flowers growing in my garden, an interesting texture on a surface, spotting something in a book - you just can't tell what will spark off an idea!

I'm currently producing a range of hand crafted items for the home using floral elements as its theme, fabrics are designed and screen printed in short runs. Using a bold monochromatic palette, they are embellished further by applique and hand/machine stitching, adding touches of colour by individually hand painting the cloth.

Items are made using natural materials which have been gathered from a broad range of sources - new, old, found and donated.

I am happy most items to post to any where in the world although there are 1 or 2 items that are either too large or too heavy to post outside the UK. Please contact me and I'll find the correct postage.
