Narrative is always present within my work whether it is personal, factual or imaginative.

History, myth, symbolism and popular culture are common themes I investigate. I’m interested in the challenge of communicating these stories through surface pattern and materiality.

Research is central to my process giving me direction to explore mark making, colour, texture and pattern. My work retains a sense of the hand within the motifs and through embellishment using traditional craft techniques.

In the future I see myself working freelance or within a commercial design studio. My aim to create textiles that are purposeful and functional that people will connect with and enjoy.
