About me

Inspired by nature, other cultures and traditional crafts and making, I like to find the beauty in the small things. From taking macro photographs to examining things in magnification under my microscope, I love to develop my prints from this hidden beauty. Working with both tradtional screen printing and dyeing techniques as well as CAD, my work is grounded in research and experimentation. Where appropriate I work as sustainably as possible, looking for ways to use minimal dyes and water and mainly working with natural materials, from silks and wool to man-made natural fibres such as milk twill and viscose.
