Following graduation in Textiles from The Surrey Institute of Art and Design, I set up my Screen Printing studio in 2005. Words and handwriting have always played an integral part in my work from my degree to the present day. 

I took lots of inspiration from handwritten vintage letters, extracts from diaries and old postcards. 

 

I believed the skill of a beautifully handwritten word had quickly become a lost art to e-mailing and texting. I wanted to create pieces from a time where a hand written note or letter was the only form of communication. 

 

I spent many years working from Craft Central workspace in East London taking part in many exhibitions, craft shows and had my work published in various interior design magazines, including Living etc and Country Living. 

 

​

Fast forward to 2015 and after a move from Essex to Lancashire and though a slight change in medium direction, words and hand writing still played an important part in my work and I began practising modern calligraphy and brush lettering. I decided I wanted to create my work all in house and from home, though grateful for the shared workspace in London, I found it very draining towards to end travelling in and out of London and it took away the love I had for screen printing and being creative. 

​

 

Now my work now includes personalised letters, handwritten using dip pen and ink, alongside a more modern style of calligraphy and illustration using an iPad, digital pencil and Cricut machine where I personalise lots of vinyl decals, mugs, design greeting cards and stickers. With lots of seasonal decorations and gifts throughout the year. 

 

Whilst the written word will always play a part within my work, nature, flowers, crafts, food, my love of coffee, and embracing my introverted self are a huge part of my inspiration. 

​

Each product I make whether it be for myself, family or a customer is made with love and with the utmost appreciation.
