My interest in mystical things started from being inspired by nature from walks in the woods from a young child. I felt then and still do, that the woods are such magical places to be in, with the twisted shaped trees, plants, butterflies and wildlife, it's a place of fantasy and beauty.
​
My wish through my work, is to help inspire others to connect with nature and the earth and to connect to the wonders and beauty that surrounds us in the world.
​
I enjoy taking photos and making sketches of things I come across while out walking in nature and include these in my work.
​
I became interested in art during my senior school years. I spent most of my time in the art room painting or in the sewing room, working on collages and I was extremely excited when I recieved a prize at school for my artwork.
In 1994 I studied Art & Design at the Oxford Polytechnic in Oxford, through the Open College of Arts. I then went on to study Sculpture and Textiles at Amersham & Wycombe College in Buckinghamshire.
​
Over the years, I have exhibited my artwork as well as drawn animal portraits in pastels. In 2014 I started painting mystical artwork in acrylic on canvas. Since then I’ve been selling prints of my original artwork at shows and events as well as online.
​
It was during lockdown that I became interested in needle felting. This was something I had wanted to do for a long time. Once I started needle felting, I fell in love with it and wondered why I hadnt taken it up beforehand. It seemed quite a natural thing for me to do and it wasn't long before I started creating my own designs for my needle felts and found myself working on the mystical theme.
​
Then as time went on and being an artist, it didnt take me long to fall in love with fibre art and start making pictures in wool. A short time after that, I started making wet felted items, and created fibre art (wool paintings) of nature, fairies, unicorns, dragons and more on them.
​
Needle felting, is where I can use my sculpture and textile background and combine my talents and interests together in one.
