Creativity isnt just the job l do its who l am and what l love. Within every aspect of my life l always explore the creative aspects. I have developed my skill base focusing on recycled materials, so any spare time is spent at boot sales,antique fairs,jumble sales charity shops and vintage warehouses.

This is not only to explore and source materials but to surround myself with the chaos and community of the random interactions and relationships that are generated from the energy of these places.

I am a member of a creative meet up called the Colour Walk where creatives explore art,creativity,colour and expression there love of colour.Its an excellent opportunity for me to wear my designs.

My art practice explores all crafts, making wearable art from up cycled materials. Though this process l photograph the people who buy and wear my designs and create portraits using mixed media specialising in collage and abstract fluid paintings for the layers in the art.

My art is influenced by my environment so l enjoying creating site specific installations to challenge perceptions and draw attention to the natural beauty and details in unconventional places.

Always enthusiastic to creativity problem solve, pushing the boundaries of found materials. Theres never a dull moment or empty space.Instagram
