Paper, Fabric & Untold Stories

I have always loved to draw and paint and it was this passion that led me to choose to undertake a Fine Art degree at Derby University. There I discovered my love of mixed media and working in sketchbooks. A few years later I discovered art journaling and bookmaking and I was hooked.

I love the freedom of mixed media, I like to work in my grungy fashion with paper and fabric, paint and coffee.

I combine acrylics with inks, drawing, collage, and whatever else I find lying around the house! I enjoy the freedom to experiment and combine all my favourites mediums into one.

My inspiration is all around me, my life, my family, my home, the nature on my doorstep.. I also am inspired by vintage photos, images and fabrics that always have their own untold stories to reveal.
