Originally from London, I trained at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art and began my career in Paris before moving to New York. After working in the corporate fashion world for a decade, I founded my own studio, designing textiles for garments and interiors.
In recent years, I have focused on large-scale, expressive embroidery, pushing the medium beyond decoration. The visible, obsessive labor in these intricate pieces contributes to their impact.
Color is central to my practice, directing how each piece evolves and engages the viewer. My work often references abstract landscapes, with flowers and leaves as recurring motifs inspired by nature.
I use a freehand vintage Singer sewing machine to embroider. The process is both intuitive and technical: the needle acts as my pencil, the fabric as my paper, yet unlike drawing, it is the fabric that moves beneath my hand. The machine operates at 2,000 stitches per minute, demanding complete focus and presence, and my work comes alive in this flow of attention and movement.
